    I'm doing my best to help any potential backlog by keeping grain out of the system....until my price expectations are met. 😉😳

    Only sold about 4500 bu of green peas out of the 2018 crop so far.

      Simply put, farmers wait for the weather and price, then terminals wait for the trains, the trains wait for the mountain passes to be open and the ships wait for everyone.

      If pricing wasnt so seasonally distorted you would have much more efficient movement of grain all yr long.

          Railways are moving record amounts of crude oil.
          Oil pipelines aren’t getting built.

          CN/CP haven’t figured out a way to move grain when it’s cold or snowy outside......
