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.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.
