Gary, it's a different world here in the East. Where I am at the elevators have had a long history of instability. There have been quite a few that would forward contract but then you have to weigh the issue of whether you will get paid. There is a long list of operators that failed and left farmers hanging.

Maybe in the future I can have confidence in a forward contract.
