And the barges that would carry America's grain for export, over half of it, aren't having a good time. The Corp of Engineers are tasked with maintaining about a nine foot deep path. Looks like in some places that is not happening right now. As if the economy needs another punch to the face. The barges are usually loaded to around eleven feet of draft. They are reducing the loads to around nine feet of draft, but things are not moving well at all. I saw a report stating there are around three hundred barges that need to get down the river. Sitting, waiting, and the ones that got down to New Orleans and got unloaded can't go back up because what channel is available isn't wide enough for two way traffic.
Pray for RAIN!

Why not? It happens..
YaKnow, the earth has been through several ice ages. Just because it thaws out enough to live without a Wooly Mammoth coat to survive doesn't mean that what is causing the thawing is finished with warming it up. The ice ages weren't our fault. The warming up and thawing weren't either.
It's still impossible to get a warmist to discuss the medieval warm period. What caused That?

Drought Snapshot: the Great Plains and Mississippi River
The Great Plains and Mississippi River corridor have experienced a number of severe drought events in the last 100 years, including droughts of the early 1930s, 1988, and 2012. The drought of 2012 was among the most damaging. Across the U.S., precipitation deficits from May through August 2012 were the greatest since official measurements began in 1895, eclipsing the driest summers that occurred during the Dust Bowl (NOAA 2013). By early September 2012, over three-quarters of the contiguous U.S. was experiencing at least abnormally dry conditions with the Great Plains experiencing unprecedented widespread and severe drought. The 2012 Great Plains drought led to nearly $35 billion in direct losses for the U.S., including closing the Mississippi River at least three times. The 2012 Great Plains drought created costly challenges for communities and economic sectors and highlighted the need for greater drought early warning information and preparedness in the region. In response, NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) and its partners convened the first US National Drought Forum in late 2012 and launched the Midwest Drought Early Warning System.

Impacts of Drought on Trade

No, We can't fix what we didn't do. If it's our fault, why did it happen before we had oil? And before We existed? It's a glob of mud and rock swinging through space. You know the North pole isn't exactly stable, right? And we don't Just go around the sun. The sun and the planets are moving through space, going through extremely long cycles.

It's a lot more complicated than anyone fully grasps.

It wasn't That long ago, medieval times, that Europe had a sufficiently long period of dependably warm summers that they had grapes, not in a hothouse, but vineyards, further north than is possible today. Long before soccer moms and SUVs, the Earth goes through periods of hot,cold,wet,and dry. It's just how it is. Humanity is resilient and will survive. Until we don't.
Got company, gotta go!
