In January, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced that an $829.1 million investment would be targeted for lock and dam improvements along the Upper Mississippi River. Of the total investment, $732 million will be allocated to the improvement of Lock and Dam 25, a significant priority for the soybean industry.

In this week’s CoffeeTalk, Mike Steenhoek, Executive Director of the Soybean Transportation Coalition joins the program to discuss what the investment means for soybean farmers, as well as what the project will entail.
