What South Dakota makes and ships

South Dakota at a glance

South Dakota freight runs on I-29 and I-90, which cross at Sioux Falls. Boxed pork from the city's packing plant and cheese from big plants at Milbank and Lake Norden fill trailers headed for grocery and food-service buyers.

South Dakota turns crops and livestock into food. Sioux Falls has packed pork beside the Big Sioux River for generations, and in 2026 its operator announced plans for a replacement plant in Foundation Park, the industrial park at the I-29/I-90 junction. Eastern South Dakota's dairies feed large cheese plants at Milbank and Lake Norden. The state ranked second in sunflowers in 2025, and ethanol plants across the east ship fuel and distillers grains. Out west, Rapid City leans on tourism and the air base at Ellsworth.

That puts most pallet demand east of the Missouri River. Pork and cheese plants ship into cold chains every day and want strong, tight pallets that hold up in coolers. Sioux Falls warehouses run standard 48x40s for retail and parcel freight. Harvest from September into November pulls trucks toward grain, so buyers who plan ahead avoid scrambling. West River orders tend to be smaller and travel longer distances.

Ports, rail and highways

How freight moves

I-29 runs north–south through Sioux Falls, Brookings and Watertown on its way between Sioux City and Fargo, and I-90 crosses the state from Sioux Falls through Mitchell and Chamberlain to Rapid City, with I-190 spurring into downtown Rapid City. I-229 loops the south and east sides of Sioux Falls, and US-12, US-14 and US-212 cross the farm belt. Freight rail serves Sioux Falls, and Sioux Falls Regional Airport, also called Joe Foss Field, handles feeder air cargo. The nearest Canadian crossing is Pembina, North Dakota, at the top of I-29.

Which pallet to order

The right pallet grade for South Dakota.

Pork and cheese plants usually want AAA or new 48x40s with thick boards for cold rooms, and pork bound overseas needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Sioux Falls DCs mostly run Grade B recycled, with Grade A for retailers that reject repairs. Ethanol plants and seed dealers that bag product should order ahead of fall harvest, when trucks and yard crews get tight. Heavy or odd-shaped equipment calls for block pallets or custom sizes. Your account manager writes up the grade before the truck is scheduled.

Buying pallets in South Dakota: questions

Do you deliver to cheese plants at Milbank and Lake Norden?
Yes. We deliver full truckloads to cheese and dairy plants in northeast South Dakota, including Milbank and Lake Norden. Most want sturdy 48x40s that hold heavy blocks in coolers. Send your spec, and your account manager confirms it in writing.
What pallets do Sioux Falls meat plants use?
Mostly strong, tight 48x40s, often AAA or new, that hold up in coolers and freezers. Pork shipped overseas needs HT pallets marked under ISPM 15. Share your spec and how pallets are inspected, and your account manager sends the grade back in writing.
Can you deliver to warehouses in Foundation Park and the Sioux Falls suburbs?
Yes. We deliver to DCs across the Sioux Falls metro, including Foundation Park, Tea, Harrisburg and Brandon. Send the address, unloading hours and the grade you stack on today, and your account manager confirms the details.
Do you deliver to Rapid City and the Black Hills?
Yes. Full truckloads go west of the river too, including Rapid City and Box Elder along I-90. The longer haul makes it worth planning ahead. Share your spec, and your account manager confirms grade and delivery.
Does fall harvest affect pallet orders in eastern South Dakota?
It can. From September into November, corn and soybean harvest pulls trucks and drivers toward grain and ethanol plants. Ordering before harvest helps keep docks supplied. Your account manager confirms the spec and delivery plan.
