Viterra recently announced plans to build a new grain terminal in Wadena, Saskatchewan.

The new terminal is expected to have a 34,000 metric tonne storage capacity and the ability to load up to 156 railcars through a loop track.

"We've worked closely with farmers in Wadena and surrounding areas for many years, and we're excited to be renewing our commitment to them through a new, world class grain facility that will meet their needs in today's competitive operating environment," said Kyle Jeworski, Viterra's President and CEO for North America, in a release. "By revitalizing our presence there, we will provide customers with convenient access to the superior service, marketing opportunities and advice that makes us an industry leader."

Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, with the opening tentatively planned for fall 2018.

Recently, Saskatchewan has been the beneficiary of different agribusinesses building new facilities.

In June, GrainsConnect Canada announced it is building two new grain terminals in the province including one in Maymont. It could be running within the next two years.

In the same month, G3 Canada officially opened a high efficiency grain terminal in Pasqua, SK after construction began in 2014.

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
