Huge thanks to the 100s of TN Farmers that participated in this survey! It's extremely important that policymakers get an accurate picture of what farmers are actually facing.

"We've just got to be engaged.” “The vast majority of producers across the U.S. have absolutely no idea that this is even going on.” “We need to let our voice be heard. We can do that through our trade associations." -TN Soybean Association member, ASA Director, Alan Meadows.
Stage at Memphis is "essentially" at record low stage.

2 tows could not go past Hickman, KY. Dredging has to be done. Much of the Midwest has had much below normal rain the past 2 weeks. Boo. Blessings✝️🛐😇 #tnwx#arwx#mswx
