US: Mississippi Lime says that Midwestern flood levels have receded sufficiently enough to enable it to resume normal barge and rail loading and shipping. Previously, the lime producer reported that flooding by the Mississippi River reduced its distribution and supply capabilities in May 2019. Barge loading facilities were affected and flood gates near its Ste Genevieve, Missouri plant were closed forcing it to use an alternate rail route, which reduced shipment capacity and increased costs.
