Abstract
Description
The topic of the article is seasonal behavior of marketing patterns for grain from North Dakota. The typical seasonal pattern in grain marketing has been for a peak to occur during and immediately following harvest with lower movements during the remainder of the year. The level of grain handled during the peak and off-peak periods determines utilization of marketing facilities (i.e., elevators and transportation services) and unit costs of providing the service. The article goes into further detail on this topic.
