Payments to participating elevators for both handling and storage have in general been liberal.

Movement from farms to local elevators by truck or wagon is a direct cost to the farmer because practically all grain is priced to the farmer f. O. B. The local elevator. A little over 10 percent of all grain in the state was sold locally, about 60... percent was shipped by rail, and about 30 percent by truck (Table 9). Thus, of the grain shipped, about two-thirds was shipped by rail.
