The Army Corps of Engineers closed Lock and Dam 4 at Alma, Wisconsin due to high water. Advance Trading Risk Management Advisor Tommy Grisafi says the flooding has also slowed navigation on the rest of the Mississippi River. These river shipping issues couldn’t have come at a worse time. “We’ve had massive sales to China, which is a plus, but now we have these logistics problems with the river,” said Grisafi. “The very Mississippi River that was bone dry at harvest is now plum full so if we get additional rain, it could really mess things up.”
