CORPUS CHRISTI — Local sorghum farmers say they had an excellent harvest, but they don't have anywhere to sell their crops. They've also lost storage space for their sorghum because one of our local elevators isn't taking in any grain right now. The Interstate Grain Company’s elevator sits empty on the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, another casualty of the trade war with China. “We haven't had much of a market this year because of the tariffs and the lack of trade with China,” said farmer Bobby Nedbalek.
