The Army Corps of Engineers' Kansas City District says navigation structures on the Missouri River between Kansas City and St. Louis were damaged by flooding and only revealed as the river receded.

Repair funding gaps raise the risk of channel restrictions and barge disruptions on a key grain corridor, which could raise freight costs for inland corn and soybean shipments.
