"We're very pleased with this highly efficient facility and what it will mean to farmers, suppliers and other stakeholders in this province and in this community," Kyle Jeworski, Viterra president and CEO, said in a release.

Jeworski said despite the company’s long history in the province, the new facility represents what the future has in store for Manitoba agriculture.

"While we're very proud of our history, we're also firmly focused on the future. Our significant investment in this new grain terminal demonstrates our confidence that southern Manitoba will continue to play an important role in Canadian and global agriculture for many more years to come."
