The Mississippi River Commission will hold its annual low-water inspection trip on the river from August 20 to 24, 2018. Four public meetings are scheduled in Caruthersville, Memphis, Vicksburg and Morgan City to hear local concerns on flood control, navigation and infrastructure.
This is a scheduling notice with no new supply or demand information. Any later decisions on low-water navigation could affect barge freight costs for grain shipments.
