Ontario is partnering with Ferrero Canada Ltd. to expand its facilities and diversify product offerings, which will boost productivity and create 80 new jobs in Brantford, while retaining over 1,000 positions across the province.

Jeff Leal, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, made the announcement today in Brantford, where Ferrero Canada has started a major expansion project.

With support from Ontario's Jobs and Prosperity Fund, the company will be able to:

  1. Build a new cocoa bean processing plant

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
