The low Mississippi River has not allowed grain to be moved quickly or at all, in some cases, so the grain has been piled on the ground. Soybeans were being piled at the terminal at Helena-West Helena during the second week of October, and more trucks were lined up to unload. Farmers get less for the grain as grain elevators bid lower and offer less for the grain, taking into account the higher cost of shipping the grain.
