dc.description.abstract	The Mississippi River is the most critical artery of the inland waterway system, supporting between 50 and 60 percent of total U.S. corn exports and 30 to 45 percent of total U.S. soybean exports. In calendar year 2002, 1.1 billion bushels of corn, 389 million bushels of soybeans, and 32 million bushels of wheat were transported to the Gulf via the Mississippi River.	eng
