Agricultural Manufacturer Moving Production Back To Canada

Nov 25, 2020

A farm equipment company based in Winnipeg is relocating a big chunk of its manufacturing work back to Canada from the US.

Buhler consolidated its US manufacturing into one plant in Minnesota last summer, but is going to move that work back across the border to Morden Manitoba. This factory will be the primary source of its Farm King production, which includes augers, mowers and tillage tools. The company's other product lines include Versatile tractors. Buhler has plants in Winnipeg and Morden, Manitoba and also in Alberta, in Vegreville.

Product lines currently manufactured in its facility in Wilmar, Minnesota, will be relocated to the Morden, Manitoba factory during this winter season. Buhler anticipates production ceasing in Wilmar early in 2021.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
