 | | We chose a midrange rate of $1.65/loaded mile to use in the transshipment model for lower quality alfalfa and $1/loaded mile for higher quality alfalfa. |
 | | We also assumed higher valued alfalfa would more likely be transported longer distances, thus reducing the cost per mile. |
 | | Therefore, it imports some higher quality alfalfa for its dairy demand (from Kansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma), some higher quality alfalfa for its non-dairy demand (from Colorado and Kansas), and some lower quality alfalfa for its non-dairy demand (from Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Oklahoma). |
