Archer Daniels Midland, or ADM, filed a lawsuit against the Canadian Pacific Railway over service disruptions in 2013 and 2014. Reuters reports the lawsuit alleges the Canadian Pacific Railway delays at corn processing plants in North Dakota and Minnesota stemmed partly from cost-cutting and the Canadian railroad’s pursuit of merger partners. Chicago-based ADM is one of the world’s largest grain traders and processors and filed the suit this month in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The lawsuit says ADM is seeking damages “resulting from one of the worst and most persistent railroad service failures experienced by ADM in many years.” However, the same day, Canadian Pacific filed a claim against ADM in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota seeking payment of overdue charges. In early 2014, after months of worsening delays crippled the U.S. farm transportation system, farmers in the Upper Midwest held the largest grain stocks in years.
