American agriculture and BNSF Railway go back a long way. In the early years, producers and the railroad depended on each other and survived and flourished because of each other. Today, that relationship still powers BNSF. The evolution of American agriculture has driven the U.S. food supply chain to become the most productive in the world, and we at BNSF are proud to help get American farms’ bounty to tables around the world. | BNSF Railway

Agriculture matters to BNSF Railway. At BNSF, we not only work together with farmers, many of us ARE farmers. Many of our employees grew up on a farm and still harbor cherished memories of the farming life. Others are still farming today. | BNSF Railway
