WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Cargill Ltd. says it will close its grain facility in Swan River, Man., which includes two elevators, as of May 31, 2015.

The facility would require costly upgrades if it remained open, said Jeff Wildeman, regional manager of Cargill AgHorizons.

Cargill’s crop inputs facility in Swan River will remain open.

The decision comes as Cargill, CWB, Richardson International Ltd. and Viterra expand their grain-handling capacity in Western Canada to store larger crops.
