AgPro Grain last week opened two elevators and farm supply centres at Killam and Lavoy, Alta.
The Killam centre includes a high-volume elevator with a total storage capacity of 42,000 tonnes, with 20,000 as workhouse capacity and 22,000 as farmer-owned condo storage.
It has the capability to clean grain to export standards, and a rail spot of 112 cars loading on five tracks.
A Crop Protection Institute certified warehouse and a fertilizer blending facility are also on the Killam site, at the junction of highways 13 and 36.
The Lavoy elevator and service centre are almost identical, but with a slightly smaller rail spot.

It is located at the junction of highways 16 and 36.
These are the third and fourth of six full-service agri-product marketing centres to be opened in Alberta by AgPro, a subsidiary of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool.
They are part of Sask Pool’s Project Horizon project, which has opened 14 of 22 planned marketing centres. Several more will open by July 2000 and the rest by December 2000.
Flexi-Coil chief resigns
Saskatoon newsroom
The head of Flexi-Coil Ltd. has stepped down from the day-to-day management of the company and as chair of the board of directors to focus on long-term planning and product development.
Terry Summach, outgoing president and chief executive officer, said last week that Kent Anderson would move up from vice-president into the new position of managing director.
Darrel Schindel, Flexi-Coil’s communications manager, said the change is significant because of Summach’s long reign as company head. But it does not mark a sudden change of direction.
“It is certainly business as usual,” he said.
