is where the waterway network comes into play.
Yes, there is a heavy reliance on trains and trucking, yet barges are becoming more prominent as operators become more adapt at navigating the American river system. A typical 15-barge tow has the same dry cargo capacity as 1,050 Semi Tractor-Trailers. The only drawback to the system is that these barges are limited to the rivers that are navigable; there are many of those waterways that lead to some of the most productive states. The Mississippi River and its associated connections make up the majority of navigable waters. A lot of water considering those waters stretch all the way to the Great Lakes.
