[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 715662, member: 1279"] Well the co-operative company that buys it deals with the marketing. So farmers get paid when they deliver and the grain is stored until it's needed for local or export. Obviously it wouldn't be as much as if they did it themselves, but the convenience is having it stored, marketed and instant payment for their produce. As far as spoiling goes if the grain gets wet there can be problems which is why tarping is kept up to date, as we fill the bulk head tarping contractors come out and extend the tarp. And the IC constantly checks the weather radar and if it looks like rain us poor suckers have to pull the tarp over it. Some sites have rail road points but ours doesn't. When they out load they move it via trucks. Most of them are triples so they carry a pretty good amount. Farmers also bring it to us via trucks as well. [/QUOTE]
