Researchers have evaluated how wheat moved along rail networks in the United States and Australia. Through their analysis, they identified U.S. states that are particularly important for sampling and managing insect and fungal problems as they move through the networks. The new knowledge could help make the food supply safer and save farmers hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
