New grain elevator up and running in Melfort

Jul 13, 2023

He added the elevator will play a big role in getting local grain to other markets. This will definitely be the case during the upcoming harvest.

“We have the ability to hold (grain for) a couple of unit trains, so our capacity is about 42,000 tonnes,” Claypool said.

The elevator will also be able to unload a Super-B truck in less than five minutes.

Meanwhile, the plan is to have a grand opening ceremony on Aug. 10.

Claypool noted the date may need to change with it all depending on when farmers start harvesting their crops.
