Cargill to double rail capacity at Sask. Grain elevator

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Cargill Ltd. announced Monday, its plans to expand its rail-loading capacity at its Rosetown, Saskatchewan location. The expansion will be from 50 to 100 rail cars, making it Canada’s third-largest grain handler.

This is the second time this year that Cargill has announced an expansion. In Dec. an expansion was announced for its Kindersley, Sask. Facility. Construction for the expansion is expected to start this month, with hopes to be completed before fall’s harvest. The cost of the Rosetown expansion hasn’t been disclosed.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
