Please explain how GLB railroad can say my farm, a profitable tax paying business is undeveloped. I have spent my life, as has my family for the last 120 years on this farm and it is far from undeveloped. Please explain what developed is in your opinion. We have drainage systems, we have high-tech and low tech machinery and buildings. We ship internationally and feed the world. We have boundaries and roads and use the latest technologies to plant the seed, fertilize the fields and harvest the crops. A train is quite undeveloped in comparison to knowing the right moment to plant and harvest. The right time to breed and when to be there for the birth of a new generation of livestock. All a train does is move freight mindlessly from one place to another. A train is quite undeveloped compared to a farm.
