Limited strike relief around Iowa grain shipments
Grain elevator workers strike in Duluth and Superior has little effect on Eastern Iowa shipments. Elevators are bulging as blocked routes divert grain to gulf ports and the Pacific Northwest. Rail boxcars are in short supply and Mississippi barge capacity is sold out for months. Tudor Wilder notes no local grain moves through Duluth, with Chicago port and lock work also hampering river traffic.
