I live in central indiana and I haven't seen a red grain truck in years. used to be, they used the grain trucks for corn and semis for soybeans as they had to haul it to indy, couldn't take it to anyplace locally.
now, all i see are semis, no grain trucks. they still take the corn to local grain bins so that's not the reason. did farmers just decide since they had to own the semi anyway, use it for both soybeans and corn and do away with the extra expense of grain trucks?
just curious
guess I should just ask the guy that farms my parents farm. been outside for most of the last month every day practicallly building a storage shed and see a dozen or more semis a day from the various farms around but not a single grain truck!
