High water conditions on the Ohio River improved in the second part of the week ending March 13, and barge operations continued to normalize. Water levels are expected to drop more for the rest of the week.
Three hundred fifty-eight empty upbound barges passed through the Olmsted Locks and Dam, 58 percent more than the previous week. Apart from minor-to-moderate high water conditions in the St. Louis area and some Lower Mississippi River locations, grain barge logistics for most of the Mississippi River have continuously improved since the beginning of March.
