G3 opens its newest grain elevator in Melfort

The City of Melfort and the Rural Municipality of Flett’s Springs had a lot to celebrate on Thursday, as the local agriculture industry received a big boost.

G3 held the official grand opening of its newest high-efficiency grain elevator, right in the heart of the northeast.

“Exciting time for us up here in the northeast, this is the only G3 elevator in the northeast, so we’re excited to have a presence in the community,” said General Manager Greg Claypool. “The whole northeast area has good cropland and we always seem to be able to produce some grain up here, which is a key reason why G3 invested here.”

The grain elevator is set to load and unload grain, clean and dry it, store it, and ship it off to where it needs to go.

In this diverse and dynamic discussion, our panelists will share unique insights on why agriculture matters in ensuring food security, addressing environmental challenges, and navigating economic landscapes. From the fresh perspectives of 5th generation producer Mady Adamson, to the on-farm and business savvy of Manitoba’s own Paul Spenst, to the wisdom of former CEO and marketing expert Kim McConnell and his 40+ years in the business, we aim to explore the common ground that binds generations in recognizing the profound impact of agriculture.

This inclusive dialogue will not only bridge generational gaps but also emphasize the enduring relevance of agriculture across urban and rural Canada, particularly when faced with the realities of continued pressures on our supply chain that continue to drive up the cost of food and food production. Join us for an enriching discussion that spans the ages, unifying diverse viewpoints to foster a collective understanding of the vital role agriculture plays in building a prosperous and sustainable future.
