A MarineLink report summarizing the U.S. Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center annual review names two Corn Belt Ports regions among the fastest-growing inland waterway freight tonnage gainers in 2026. The report gives no detailed tonnage figures in its summary.
Strong tonnage growth in Corn Belt river ports points to healthy bulk grain flows, but the lack of figures limits its price relevance.
After 770 past neutral report events, CORN moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 563 past neutral report events, SOY moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and -0.1% over 20.
