(NAFB) Getting into the harvest season means it’s the predominant period for exporting U.S. soybeans. Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soy Transportation Coalition, says the inland waterway system is running at very low levels.
He says the lower levels are already impacting barge transportation.
Steenhoek says this emphasizes just how persistent significant drought can be.
The good news is there are alternatives for shipping grain. The bad news is they’re more expensive.
Again, Mike Steenhoek of the Soy Transportation Coalition.
