Our county cooperative extension agent lined up a guy from Canada to buy hay in our area a number of years ago. The guy came down and contacted a few hay growers. He liked the hay in this area and wanted to have us load it in a box car; payment would be based on condition of the hay when it arrived at his location. I think he went home empty handed. If hay begins to sweat in a box car/container, it probably would not be worth anything in a few days. We certainly were not interested in his deal. UP's motto for many years was "We can handle it!" HANDLE it yes; deliver it - that may take some time. |
