so if they want to tie this up in court, then its time to expand the railroad infrastructure.
hmmm I wonder what would happen if all those farmers banded together and sold their wheat as a collective. Surely there must have been a way for grain farmers to compete with the oil industry for ability to ship large amounts. hmmmm, nothing comes to mind. maybe i'll invent it...i'll call it...the Canadian Wheat...Collective! farmers will love that idea, but just to be safe i'll pay them a % upfront and make them an average more of $13.35/tonne, only a fool would vote against that. they'd keep my collective around forever.
