We have been talking about the supply chain challenges for more than a year, and today we are getting a look at how some companies are adjusting. The grain industry is taking matters into its own hands, through technological advances. CHS Inc. leverages barges along the Mississippi to carry grain all the way down to Louisiana and onto the global market. It is now using a fully automated grain elevator in Minnesota. New sensors collect data on barges which helps the company make decisions about sourcing products elsewhere, to make sure shipments arrive at their destination on time.
