BC Rains

[grassfarmer]

As an outsider looking in couldn’t there be a solution to be able to load in the rain? I mean like how many $$$ a day do these delays cost? Or is the fact that those costs get downloaded to us producers mean that nobody has an incentive to solve what looks like a simple problem.

Maybe something like this?

Used to load grain screening pellets out there in the pouring rain. What a friggin nightmare. A chute coming out the side of a building with nothing to pull under to keep the rain off of you. Bottom of every hopper was "soup"!

The nightmare truly started when you jumped the rocks and hit the barren frozen plains. That soup was now a rock!

They would put the ship loading on hold, but the GSP's? Gotta fill the daily quota EVERY DAY!

Here is an update on the flooding and rainfall. State of emergency declared. Roads washed out.

Sounds simpler and cheaper than what I was thinking of. Magnets and a blow up tarp sounds quite flexible too. Brazil should know all about dealing with rain too I would imagine.
