The Northern Grain Belt Ports received official designation and will be listed and ranked on the annual U.S. Leading Ports List. The Northern Grain Belt Ports district is centered on the I-90 crossing of the Upper Mississippi River. It includes the historic inland port cities of La Crosse and Prairie du Chien in Wisconsin and the ports of Wabasha, Red Wing, and Winona in Minnesota. Also in the district are seven Wisconsin counties - Pierce, Pepin, Buffalo, Trempealeau, La Crosse, Vernon, and Crawford - and four Minnesota counties along the Upper Mississippi River. This designation will help capture and represent the value of port and terminal activity inside the designated area. A few articles (or, additional information) below:
