The low water levels come at a crucial time of the year for the transport of crops from the nation’s heartland, CNN has previously reported. The Army Corps of Engineers has been dredging portions of the river to keep traffic flowing – albeit at a much slower pace. Hundreds of barges and vessels have been queuing up, waiting for the all-clear to pass through the treacherously-low river.

The Consolidated Grain and Barge Company, which buys, stores and sells crops for shipping, can usually move grain on barges loaded up to 80,000 bushels, according to David Gilbert, the company’s superintendent at its Greenville, Mississippi, office.

But recently the low water levels have forced the company to keep the loads far lighter, at around 55,000 bushels.

“I ain’t seen it lower than it is now,” Gilbert told CNN. “We’re not loading right now.”

Gilbert said that instead of shipping their harvests right now, many farmers are “just throwing it in their bins” and waiting for better conditions, which could still be weeks away.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants

Is that the Luxor in the background?

Someone talked about food shortage.....rivers and lakes are drying up.....almost as if it is being coordinated. That sounds crazy.

If I’ve read this correctly, we’re dealing with an unprecedented drop in water level to the 5th lowest height in the past few decades.

Lots of weird things conspiring to keep inflation high. Ian crushed the Florida orange crop.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Or maybe it's the same weird thing. And it's moving towards becoming the norm.

[Fields will] be the starting QB on an NFL roster at the start of next season. Book It!

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I was surprised This Week didn’t cover this at all. Instead more Jan 6 coverage.

Climate Change was very bad in the late 30s/early 40s, then it stopped and got bad again in the mid-60s, now it is an emergency that demands you consume cicadas and use kerosense lamps. China and India will continue to grow more prosperous. Only Europe and the U.S. are Climate Criminals.

High time to convene a Council of the Megalopolis to consider our options.

Wait until all these states wanna tap into those.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Good thing Daley isn’t around to sell water rights to any state willing to work with his cronies.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

States have tried for 20 years to tap into the great lakes.

Biden is doing a GOOD job.

Biden might try to executively order that the Great Lakes belong to all.

How is that at all surprising?
