USDA AgTransport data show downbound grain barge movements of roughly 2.14 million short tons in the week ended November 7, 2026. Soybeans made up about 1.25 million short tons and corn about 886,250 short tons, with Mississippi River locks carrying most of the traffic.
Heavy soybean and corn barge loadings show active export movement down the Mississippi, which supports freight demand. The volumes are routine weekly data with no new shock to prices.
