Abstract

The general objective of this study is to determine the costs of moving grain from farm to local market by farm truck and what factors influence these costs. The specific objectives are: 1) to determine the average cost of moving grain from farm to local market by farm truck and 2) To evaluate the influence that the factors of box size, truck size, truck mileage, total bushels hauled, bushel-miles, farm size, elevator distance, and the age of the truck have on the various unit costs and total costs of moving grain from farm to local market by farm truck.
