The head of the Soy Transportation Coalition says more investment is needed in the Missouri River as an alternative for farmers to transport grain and supplies.
Mike Steenhoek tells Brownfield producers who live in its bordering states need a better inland waterway system for shipping and receiving. “It’s never going to compare to the Mississippi River in terms of freight handled but we think it it’s a very efficient option that farmers should be able to avail themselves more of.”
He says they want to see more investment, but it leads to endless cycle.
