From the bio: "George Foster and Tom Rollins started Jefferson Barracks Marine Service, Inc. in 1976 as a barge fleeting and switching service, operating 4 boats in the St. Louis Harbor. As the industry changed, JBMS changed its focus to barge cleaning and repair services.

In October of 1999, the barge cleaning and repair service was acquired by George Foster who started his own company, JB Marine Service, Inc. In the summer of 2008 a 4th dry dock was added to expand its services to the industry. With four dry docks, a machine shop and five floating cranes, JB Marine Service, Inc. employs over 100 people, which includes office personnel, machinists, welders, pilots, deckhands, and barge cleaners.

Here comes the fun! Preg-checking cattle! Morgan "up to his elbows" ...

by Matthew Galkin via twitter 8/19/2013 2:27:36 AM
"When you reach in, what is the road map?" @MorganSpurlock asks the doctor checking if the cows are pregnant. #InsideMan

by Inside Man via twitter 8/19/2013 2:27:54 AM
The pregnancy checks were a sensory overload-- even those of us standing 10ft away were hit with flying manure. @InsideManCNN

Well, Morgan Spurlock is...going in: "It's warm!" "It's nice on a cold day."

The Mississippi River is so narrow, "you sink a barge, you just shut the river down." #InsideMan http://CNN.com/Conversation

Some reports have attributed the Arab Spring to food price instability. http://bit.ly/RrnfST @InsideManCNN
