U.S. Company Acquires Two Saskatchewan Grain Elevators

Sep 28, 2017

A new U.S. based organic food company has started doing business in Saskatchewan.

Pipeline Foods has acquired grain elevators in Wapella and Gull Lake.

Pipeline foods chief executive Eric Jackson sees Saskatchewan as a key part of setting up a supply chain for the organic food industry.

He says the elevator in Wapella is being re-connected to the CP Rail line.

“That particular facility had been disconnected from the railroad and was simply being used as farmer storage,” Jackson said. “They’re reconnecting it to the railroad and turning it back on again.”

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
