Port still iced in another five weeks
WINONA, Minn. – No one is more eager for spring than Dan Nisbit, president of the CD Terminal complex at the Winona port. CD’s business is transloading grain, pig iron and other commodities from barge to barge and from rail cars and trucks to barges. Ice on the Mississippi River usually breaks the third week of March for river shipping. For now, things are quiet at the port.
