    Great episode, I'm stuck for 3-4 months without internet in Quebec City, but from time to time I get to go to the mall and use their free internet (with restrictions) and download the podcast.

    Whenever I hear the name "The Wheat Pool" I get shivvers down my spine, I get mixed images, some of "Wheatfield Soul" (music), others of the actual grain elevators, I'm fairly young but I remember quite well growing up with grain elevators. Even as late as around '95 or so elevators were all over the prairie skyline. My hometown's last elevator was knocked down in '91 or so, even tho this day it seems that if you don't have an elevator (including a non working elevator), it means your town will never be prosperous ever again. The town where I went to school at had 5 grain elevators in the mid '90s but it's now down to 1, the population went from 600 or so in the 80s to under 400 now. But a local farmer bought the elevator a few years ago and it actually helped the town out alot, because a multi million dollar "Hollywood" film came to town because of the elevator, the people who created the film wanted a scene of a "midwestern" dying farming town as their main backdrop for the movie, and since the town still had a grain elevator, and within a great view of where most of the action was going to be taking place, it was perfect. But it kind of gets sad when I return to town for homecoming or anything, businesses are left vancant, the school will probably shut down in 10 years, and its quickly turning into a ghost town.
