Barge

The Transportation Services Branch provides information on the movement of grain on the Mississippi, Ohio, and Arkansas Rivers. Barge transportation is important to U.S. agriculture because it provides low cost transportation of grain from major production areas to coastal areas for export to foreign markets.
