I visited with Brock Lautenschlager, Director of Rail Services for CHS, at the NAFB National Convention in Kansas City.

Transportation is a very important thing for producers. They need to have the means of moving their grain.

I asked Brock how the rail companies where doing. He told us, "Rail performance has been very good as of late."

He added, "We were faced with challenges, but the rail companies have expanded capacities with investments."

Other topics covered in the following video include positive train control, a new technology, and rail tank car safety.
