If you just let the market forces deal with it, then the farmer who says, for instance.... I visited farmers right across the Prairies last fall. They had grains that they had sold at a certain price. How can you say it's all right that they kept that grain from November all the way to the following April? I'm a farmer—I grew vegetables—and if I had to keep my crop right to April, with the storage of keeping it, and losing the price that you were going to get in November and having to wait...who's paying for it? That's where you get the $8-billion loss.
You can blame it all on the railroad, and the railroad is a big part of this, but it's also who's handling it and whether you are meeting your contracts. How can you say to your farmers that if they store this for the whole fall or winter they're not losing any money? I can't see where you get the logic in that.
