Abstract: The possible effect of rural road development policies and selected maintenance programs upon grain marketing and transportation costs in southeastern Michigan is examined through a linear programming algorithm designed to minimize the aggregate transport and handling costs. The model's empirical results indicate a direct relationship between rural road development and maintenance policies and grain transport marketing costs.
