Wider regional patterns matter too: Midwest steel mills, auto plants, and rail logistics put yards close to the consuming buyers for battery plates, sheet roofing, and radiation shielding. Within the state, Des Moines has the largest concentration of yards taking Lead (Soft). Posted rates inside the state move with end-use demand for battery plates, sheet roofing, and radiation shielding, and yard-to-yard spreads reflect each yard's volume and where it ships its sorted material.
