Access to rail car and costs were big problems for producers and elevators across South Dakota for most of the last year. Now, it looks like the problem is easing a bit.
Todd Yeaton, Chairman of the South Dakota State Rail Board, says more trains means lower costs.

Yeaton, who manages an elevator in Kimball, says they are seeing a more normal traffic pattern.

Yeaton says lower grain prices are playing into the rail situation too.

Yeaton says they are in a much better position heading into this spring compared to the last couple of years.
