For the second time, the U.S. Surface Transportation Board (STB) ordered railroad logistics company Union Pacific (UP) to deliver feed to the Foster Farms operations in Livingston, California. Millions of chickens and hundreds of cattle are in danger of starving to death, due to ongoing logistics problems with deliveries of feed!

The first time UP was ordered to make the deliveries it blamed lack of employees, now it blames climate change! UP claims snowy weather, in December 2022, disrupted deliveries to 20 western states.

This latest ‘order’ by the STB is specifically about deliveries to the industrial food producer Foster Farms, which lodged a complaint with the STB. Foster Farms claims it is being forced to buy much more expensive feed in the meantime. The feed is more expensive because it is being hauled in by tractor-trailers, of course this means Foster Farms will pass on the extra cost to the consumers.

The delivery problems involving UP are not new, the STB got many similar complaints about UP delivery problems in Spring 2022.
