Early Seaway opening eases Great Lakes grain squeeze
The St. Lawrence Seaway opened three days early, easing crowded grain storage around the Great Lakes. Chicago port elevators hold 48 million bushels awaiting shipment, with shipments expected by mid April. Officials say rail and truck routes may shift to export via the Seaway, aiding Midwest congestion while prices may not drop. U.S. Steel notes higher ore demand and Minnesota limestone needs will drive greater Great Lakes cargoes as ore carriers prepare to sail from Duluth.
