grain is our #1 ag export, but the majority of corn and bean exports move into export position by barge. generally HRW wheat will move to export by rail, however, even spring and soft wheats move to export by barge as well as rail. <br />regarding "captive" grain shippers, the rail road may have some leverage with these customers, but the carrier must allow the grain to move to market at a "to arrive" price which allows the grain to find end user purchasers. if the freight charges prohibit grain movement being competitively priced upon arrival at terminal market, then the grain will be stored rather than shipped and the traffic will be lost to the carrier..
