The Mississippi River is hitting near-record lows, and farmers are feeling the pinch of how to move their grain.
With high prices on practically everything, farmers are now facing a drying-up Mississippi River. Illinois Farm Bureau President Rich Guebert (GEE-Bert) said it's crunch time for farmers.
According to Guebert (GEE-bert), the low levels hurt the nation's coupled supply chain. As a result, farmers are turning to semis, which are facing high diesel prices.
