Further to that, if the plan was 5,000 cars a week, the elevators buy grain to their expected level of service. They're only buying grain from the farmers up to what they can expect to ship. They're doing that, as far as I understand, based on their agreements with the rail companies, and the rail companies aren't living up to those agreements. It's frustrating at the farm level, where the line companies or shippers are actually just buying up to the number of cars that the railways say they can supply, and they are not even living up to that.
