This grain elevator was owned by Paterson Grain, a division of Paterson GlobalFoods Inc., but it was not listed in the 2014-2015 “Grain Elevators in Canada” publication by the Canadian Grain Commission. It had a capacity of 3,430 tonnes between the elevator and its annex. It had a listed capacity of 3,930 prior to 2001, when it still had a low grain warehouse beside the annex.
