G3 Expanding Grain Terminal Network Across The Prairies

Jun 30, 2020

G3 is adding to its State-of-the-art grain terminals across the Prairies.

They recently opened two new elevators in Alberta, G3Morinville and G3 Carmangay.

Both facilities have a licensed capacity of 42,600 Tonnes with a rail car spot for a 150 car train.

The facilities are able to unload trucks in minutes while the loop track allows them to quickly load trains for shipment to G3's Vancouver Terminal - a next generation grain export terminal opening this summer.

Four more G3 elevators are under construction in Alberta, with the Wetaskiwin and Stettler County locations set to open later this summer, Vermillion and Irricana are scheduled for 2021.

The G3 facility at Swift Current is also set to open in 2021 and will have a capacity of 42,000 tonnes.

G3 CEO Don Chapman says these state-of-the-art facilities are transforming the way grain moves across Canada.

"Our loop-to-loop system connects Prairie to port in a way that ensures high-quality Canadian grain gets to market on time, which ultimately benefits Canadian farmers."

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
