Abstract
A survey of farm operators in the Northern Plains Region was conducted to gather information
about on-farm storage and truck markets. The objective of the study is to provide information
about farm truck grain marketing patterns in the Northern Plains. There is no other source for
this information. It should be complementary to other farm-to-market information and national
commodity flow publications. Farmers may use the results for their own investment and productivity
assessments. Local and regional planners and policy makers can use the information in calibrating
travel demand and freight flow models for investment and asset management choices.
