A Soy Transportation Coalition analysis says dredging the Lower Mississippi from 45 to 50 feet would add $461 million in value for soybean farmers. The 256-mile stretch from Baton Rouge to the Gulf handles a large share of U.S. soybean and corn exports.
Funding would require federal and state investment, with maintenance paid from a federal trust fund.
Deeper channels would allow more cargo per vessel and lower the per-bushel shipping cost from the Gulf, which could support export basis and farm prices over time. The effect depends on projects that are not yet funded.
