The Corps of Engineers St. Louis District announced two public tours aboard the MV Mississippi, the largest diesel towboat on the river, in Cape Girardeau and Alton in early August. The towboat's main job is moving barges for bank stabilization work on the lower Mississippi.
This is a public outreach event with no direct effect on grain flows, barge rates or feed prices.
