Harvest is a time of high energy use to fuel tractors and combines and that hits right at the bottom line. Prices (of grain) are a bit low and as we have fewer exports then prices may drop some more so farmers are caught in a real price cost squeeze.
More Quotes from Rick Tolman:
Normally we rely on a lot of it moving out down the river to export points as we bring the new crop in. In the short run they will have to build piles on the ground and hope that it doesn't rain.Rick Tolman
I'm hearing estimates of maybe a week to two weeks before they can resume exporting. But if it goes longer than that, our customers start turning to other sources of supply and we start losing sales, which obviously has an impact on price.

Most weren't hit very hard. A number of barges have broken loose or sunk. It's a matter of getting power back, getting barge traffic moving again so we can get to the elevator, and clearing the port.

I enjoyed the crew. The best part about 'The X-Files' has been the crew. This crew is an exceptional family and to go to work with a bunch of people that you really like is great. They're all the best of the best and they really try to do the best job they can. I'll miss that.
