Thank you very much for that. I think that's an important aspect of it.
The other aspect, and something that was mentioned, is the fact that farmers are dealing with lines of credit as well. These are important aspects, and that was one of the things that was discussed earlier about it being a dual year, 2013 and 2014 crop years, and trying to get some sort of a match there. But I'm sure you'll be able to kind of tie those things in if that's a decision that is made in order to help out under those circumstances.
There is another aspect dealing with the railways, and I've always said this. I know I heard earlier today that maybe in June they didn't quite know what the crops were going to be, but it's hard to get lost when you're driving a train. If you're taking a look at the kinds of crops that we had in July and August, I think there should have been some thought that we were going to have these issues. If the grain companies hadn't already brought it to their attention, I think it was important for that.
We're trying to find some solutions to this. We've talked about other commodities, potash, coal, oil, and other kinds of products that are being shipped at this point in time. But the grain sector is one that is losing a great amount at this point because of the fact that they're just widening the basis because there are no opportunities for sales. Do you see any types of cooperations that could exist between the different shippers of different types of commodities that you might, as an organization, want to be able to talk to them about?
