Five of the nation's top agricultural production states, Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin have traditionally
relied on the Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway (UMR-IWW)
navigation system as their principal conduit for export-bound
agricultural products mostly bulk corn and soybeans. The low-cost,
high-volume capability of barge transportation has long provided an
important competitive advantage for U.S. agricultural products in
international markets. Agricultural barge freight on the UMR-IWW
grew rapidly for several decades in the post-WWII era, but has
leveled off since the early 1980s. There is disagreement over the
cause for this lack of growth in barge demand.
