After Eric Fridfinnson's record harvest a year ago, some grain was stuck on his Arborg, Manitoba, farm for six months waiting for railcars. Even with a wheat crop a third smaller, he's still got a three month backlog to ship it south to the U.S. "They just haven't had the cars and we have to sit and wait," Fridfinnson, who farms 8,000 acres of wheat, flax and oats about 75 miles north of Winnipeg, said in a Jan. 29 interview.
