G3 Canada plans to officially open the doors to another high efficiency elevator next week.
G3’s new facility at Glenlea, Man., will host a grand opening on Oct. 5.
The facility features 34,000 tonnes of storage, cleaning facilities and a 134-car loop track.
The elevator is located about a kilometre south of Glenlea off Highway 75 and is serviced by Canadian National Railway and BNSF Railway.
Another grain company is also expanding its footprint on the Prairies.

China’s grain imports have slumped big-time
China purchased just over 20 million tonnes of wheat, corn, barley and sorghum last year, that is well below the 60 million tonnes purchased in 2021-22.
According to a P & H newsletter, the company will build a new 16,000 tonne dry fertilizer shed in the first phase of construction followed by a 1,800 tonne liquid blend plant in phase two.
“It’s going to be a first-class facility, attached to rail, with very high-speed load out capabilities,” said Justin Watson, national director of crop nutrients.
P & H said the decision to build at Moosomin is in response to strong regional customer demand.
“Eastern Saskatchewan is a very strong liquid fertilizer market,” said Watson.
In the past two years, P & H has expanded its presence in the fertilizer business, adding new sheds at Hamlin, Sask., Quill Lake, Sask., Biggar, Sask., and Gladstone, Man.
The company also built a new facility at Wilson Siding near Lethbridge and is tripling its fertilizer capacity at Moose Jaw.
