Agriculture exports through the Gulf of Mexico have had little weather-related disruption despite storms that have hit that area. Soy Transportation Coalition executive director Mike Steenhoek tells Brownfield Ag News shipping infrastructure has withstood the violent weather, or in most cases has avoided the worst of it.
“These storms, while they have imposed significant damage on a lot of communities, it hasn’t had a significant prolonged impact on our export capacity,” said Steenhoek, “so from an ag supply chain perspective that has been encouraging.”
Along with the high number of storms, Steenhoek says the weather systems have been fast to develop leaving little time to prepare.
