Joe Serbus farms outside the town of Franklin, Minnesota, near the winding Minnesota River. The water levels have been low for a while now, but it's the other river — across the state — that he's worried about.
"The Minnesota (River) really started dropping in June. But just a week ago, we did get an email about that bottlenecking [on the Mississippi River] was starting below St. Louis," said Serbus, chair of the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council.
And the bottleneck on the Mighty Mississippi comes just as fall harvest in the Upper Midwest is at full tilt.
