QUEENSLAND'S grain industry is playing ‘second fiddle’ to coal on freight trains in Central Queensland, according to the state's major farm body.
AgForce Grains president Wayne Newton said a recent spate of train cancellations is causing major headaches for exporting company Graincorp and costing farmers valuable income through additional costs.
“With central Queensland Graincorp depots rapidly filling with this year’s sorghum crop, transport delays could slow harvest and delivery of the crop off-farm,” Mr Newton said.
