The grain wagons carry 30t, the livestock wagons carry 25 animals. So
if you run the an equal number of livestock and grain trains, with the
same number of wagons in each, they won't balance.

If you run trains with 5 grain wagons, you need to run with 6
livestock wagons to even things up.

I've never noticed farms producing much more of one than the other -
you may get a small difference if your rating for grain is higher or
lower than for livestock - which I would expect to be the case if you
are running the same number of wagons for each.
