Yeah. The Wheat Pool as we knew it will have to be rebuilt from scratch, albeit under yet another name as the old one is locked up as someone's now-privately held trademark. This will be the work of at least another decade or two, so I'd advise any farmers of a mind to get that work done should start immediately.
