Oct 21, 2020

Viterra is adding another state-of-the-art grain elevator to its lineup in Saskatchewan.

The new elevator at Biggar will have a storage capacity of 34,000 metric tonnes, a loop track and will be built on the CP rail line.

The current facility is located along CN's rail line.

Kyle Jeworski, President and CEO for Viterra North America says for the last several years they have been making targeted investments across their asset network.

"We're pleased to be revitalizing our presence in the Biggar area, and making a long term commitment to our customers through this significant investment."

Construction on the new facility will begin immediately and is slated for completion in early 2022.

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey.
