Grain Deliveries Halted at Some Mississippi River Elevators; No Help Coming from Missouri River Flows

At least two Cargill grain elevators on the Mississippi River have stopped taking corn and soybeans because the bins are full, and they can't send grain down the river fast enough. Meanwhile, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials on the Missouri River are reducing water releases out of Gavins Point, South Dakota. Corps officials on the Missouri River also are not authorized to increase dam releases to support the Mississippi River system.
