Last week a man (old enough and of a background to know) told me that the UP was offering farmers in his area an extra ten cents per bushel if they would haul this season's corn to the UP's own granaries (elevators, I suppose) and bypass their local elevators. <br /> <br />If this rumor is true, it must make local elevator ops. really angry but might please the farmers (an extra dime for a bushel of any grain is a lot). While I feel for the local elevator owners, let's not forget that a lot of these "local" facilities are owned by the likes of Cargill and Bunge; so that kind of competition vis-a-vis BNSF would not always be the David-and-Goliath battle we might at first envision.
