Hurricane Ida rocked the Gulf coast last month, making landfall at New Orleans and causing significant damage to the infrastructure that supports the U.S. soy and grain export business. It damaged at least one major terminal and left several without power for several weeks.

In this episode we talk with Mike Steenhoek of the Soy Transportation Coalition for a look at how badly Ida hurt trade at the gulf, what damage is yet to be repaired, and what lessons the industry might learn from this latest weather-related challenge to our infrastructure.

Steenhoek also provides an update on the latest in Washington on the Infrastructure Bill after it cleared the Senate, and why lies ahead in the House.
