What is this??? Idaho??? "Seaport"??? Barges going down a river constitute a seaport??? Duluth or St Paul would both be way way way further and St Louis would still be further and represent far more productive land. The entire Great plains gets shipped down the Missouri and Mississippi. Fuck those "Christian" jihadist asshole militias and the bitch ass narratives.

Duluth to the Atlantic is 2,300 miles. Duluth's port docks 1,000 foot freight and cargo ships that are ocean going. It's 460 miles from Lewiston to the Pacific and handles barges. Idaho is not any of the things you said it is. 62 million bushels of wheat. Fucking Iowa alone produces over 2 BILLION bushels of corn. And the vast majority of it goes down the Mississippi. That's over a thousand miles of river. Idaho is a joke

Duluth is on Lake Superior, which makes the “inland” part debatable.

But yes, I checked and Lewiston is the farthest inland Pacific port.
