Spent a couple of days in Fort Lauderdale, Florida last week. Visited the Port of the Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. They were loading an ocean going vessel at the port with large poly or cloth bags (60 - 100 bushels per bag at least). Semi flatbed after semi flatbed came into the port each with 16 bags. The bags were not strapped down to the flatbed making me think they hadn't been transferred or filled too far away. Eight large bags at a time were lifted off of the flatbeds into the hull of the boat. This was a good size boat, but compared to a cruise ship it was small. I assume it was some kind of commodity they were loading. I told another farmer along with us that it was probably corn or beans going to another county as it wasn't far from the Continental Grain facility along the water a short distance away. He said if it was corn or beans it would be loaded with conveyors or something modern. I disagreed saying the some poor counties might still be handling imported grain this way. Can anyone provide some insight on what might have been in the large white bags? Thanks
