Logistics

Transportation is becoming an increasingly larger percentage of the final delivered price for cottonseed. Changes to driving rules, mergers between railroads and consolidation of barge lines has lead to fewer trucks on the road, tighter rail car supplies and the scrapping of many older barges.

The run up in fuel prices has aggravated the situation still further. Cottonseed LLC has actively sought to remove this risk from our customers by developing a fuel hedging program. This allows us to protect your delivered prices while continuing to offer forward contracting without any hidden extras.
