Viterra reopens Grimshaw elevator

Regina-Viterra Inc. plans to reopen its elevator in Grimshaw, Alberta, in July 2008 to enhance grain handling and marketing services to customers in the northern part of the Peace River area. The facility, which was closed in 2001, will provide a local delivery alternative for Viterra farm customers. It said the decision to reopen the facility is supported by a strong business case given the recent redistribution of Viterra grain handling assets across Western Canada and the absence of a Viterra elevator in the area. Viterra said the elevator will complement Viterra’s Ag Retail Farm Service Centre in Grimshaw and other surrounding communities, which offer premium products including fertilizer, seed, equipment and crop protection products.
