Does anyone know how often vessels load at COFCO? Also, any idea what grain they load there?

Thanks!
I would think they loaded corn. Some years between S. Chicago, Milwaukee, and Burns Harbor you'd see 15-20 boats load grain, but not this year. Probably between the 3, maybe 2, and probably 1 from S. Chicago.

Thanks in advance!
probably wrong, but could be loading grain at COFCO.
