Because of what happened last year, farmers feel they're at the bottom of the pecking order, that when railways are handling their various clients, they put the higher-value goods on top--moving the container loads and things of that nature--and then they move down to bulk goods after that. Even within the bulk structure, moving forestry products, coal and whatever, grain somehow falls to the bottom of that list. Is that the case, or is that just the perception?
