The problem is if we have to go to trucking all the way we can't compete with countries that can move grain by water

I don't know how avoidable that is, Ish. I hope it is, because otherwise you guys are gonna take a beating.

Keep in mind, if they go to truck transport, the price of fuel is and will be a killer. Many operators are on the brink of bankruptcy as it is. At a minimum, surcharges will add greatly to the price of the product being transported.
