Parrish & Heimbecker Announces Upgrades for Kincardine, ON Facility

Parrish & Heimbecker has announced major upgrades for its grain handling facility in Kincardine, ON, which will expand storage and increase unloading speeds. 

Planned upgrades include a new dryer and wet storage system, a kiosk for the self-weighing of trucks, a probing station, and larger receiving pits. Once completed, the new facility will offer faster unload times for producers eliminating lineups and enhancing food safety and quality control capabilities. The addition of self-loading of outbound trucks will also reduce wait times and improve overall efficiency, the company said in a release last week. 

The upgraded facility will be dedicated to serving the demand for high-quality wheat from P&H’s flour mills in Ontario. Construction has started and the upgrades are scheduled to be completed by early 2024. No cost estimate was released.

For over two decades, Dr. Mitloehner has been at the forefront of research on how animal agriculture affects our air and our climate. With deep expertise in emissions and volatile organic compounds, his work initially focused on air quality in regions like California’s Central Valley—home to both the nation’s richest agricultural output and some of its poorest air quality.

In recent years, methane has taken center stage in climate discourse—not just scientifically, but politically. Once a topic reserved for technical discussions about manure management and feed efficiency, it has become a flashpoint in debates over sustainability, regulation, and even the legitimacy of livestock farming itself.
