 Well, flooding in several northern states is a reminder that weather events impact crop growth and the ability to transport that crop. Mike Steenhoek, executive director of the Soy Transportation Coalition, says the closure of roads and bridges will result in farmers and elevators having to incur expensive detours to access delivery locations. He says a big example is the collapse of the BNSF railway bridge across the Big Sioux River near Sioux City that will require considerable time to replace.
