That's right farmaholic. When I was still buying grain unit train discount was around $12/mt.

...and out of that came the "trucking incentive". Seems I remember never getting offered allot more than 7 dollars.

Ado, what is it like having been on both sides of the table? It would be an interesting perspective and I have often said if I was to quit "primary" ag production I could never be on the "other side" and maintain a clear conscience.

What rattles me even more is why would you go back farming knowing....?

,I enjoyed buying grain but it was during the early 2000's and it was pretty hard buying canola under $6. Grain buying and retail was tough until and 2009, it was a struggle to make 3.5-5%. That's when I went back to the farm full time. I worked in a couple different areas an it made a big difference. I really enjoyed working at carseland. I grew up in a tractor so it was only a matter of time before I came back I just needed to save some money to buy some land.
