Hill: River dredging needed to move more beans

An American Soybean Association director from Brewster, Minnesota says transportation is a big deal to soybean growers and improvements are needed.

Chris Hill, a fifth-generation farmer who grows corn, soybeans and wheat and runs a small warehouse elevator and trucking operation, says river improvements are priority ONE. Hill told Brownfield Ag News on the ASA stage at Commodity Classic that deepening the river would add 13-cents a bushel to farmers’ pockets.
