Workers at 13 Canadian locks along the St. Lawrence Seaway are on strike. Soy Transportation Coalition Executive Director Mike Steenhoek described it as just one more transportation route that’s closed to farmers. “With all of the supply chain challenges we’ve encountered over the past few years, we’ve had a number of occurrences where these options aren’t operating at full capacity.” Water conditions on the Mississippi River are still concerning for Steenhoek. “We’ve recently hit a record low water level in Memphis and barge transportation is constricted.”
