Grain export market in Minnesota declines amid drought and weak demand
Agriculture Commissioner Jon Wefald says Minnesota grain exports fall sharply this season. Through April 1977 Mississippi River barge loadings totaled 17.7 million bushels, Duluth Superior harbors 5.25 million, oat exports drop as farmers hold feed oats, while corn and wheat remain the top exports at 11.3 and 12.2 million bushels. New soybean demand lifts Mississippi barge movement to 8.2 million bushels by May 15.
