An ag transportation expert says he’s concerned about the summertime shipment of ag goods along the Mississippi River despite a recent rebound in water levels.
Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soy Transportation Coalition, says, “The reality is it’s not going to require a prolonged period of dry conditions to all of a sudden see those water levels retreat a bit more.”
In February, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers announced that drought conditions along the river were officially over.
