Night Elf Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Ds has to write about the Mississippi River and its uses. One he is listing is it's a food source. But we cannot find anything that lists the type of food one can find in the river. We did find a site that mentions some of the types of fish found in it. What other kind of food might there be? Do you think he can mention crops that grow along the river? We found a site that mentions some crops like soybeans and wheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Maybe you can find out about crops that depend on the river for irrigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Maybe you can find out about crops that depend on the river for irrigation. We're trying but it's incredibly difficult. We're on day 2. He's just getting really frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The National Mississippi River Museum is in Dubuque Iowa. Maybe they'd take a phone call or an email. Hope he finds what he needs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 What about the Mississipi river Delta? http://www.mississippiriverdelta.org/discover-the-delta/america-needs-the-delta/the-delta-and-seafood/ Quoting the above website: "No matter where in the country you live, you've probably enjoyed oysters, crabs, shrimp and fish from the Mississippi River Delta thanks to Louisiana's commercial fishery, the largest in the lower 48 states: More than a third of America's oysters are harvested from Louisiana waters. Louisiana lands roughly 25 percent of the blue crabs caught nationwide. Louisiana shrimpers catch roughly a million pounds of both brown and white shrimp every year. - " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Perfect, thank you. I'm not sure why we aren't finding the information he needs. We're not usually this inept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
