There is one grain elevator remaining in Rivers, Manitoba. This elevator was UGG, transferred to Cargill sometime between 1990 and 1995. It is now privately owned and used for grain storage.

There used to be a Manitoba Pool elevator and a National grain elevator in Rivers. The photo below shows grain boxcars at the National elevator. The UGG grain elevator in the distance is the only elevator remaining in Rivers now. The National grain elevator was sold to Cargill in 1975.
