Yorkton, SK. (June 30, 2021) – Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited (P&H) announces a new grain facility in the Yorkton, Saskatchewan area. Already under construction, it is expected to be complete and receiving grain in June of 2022. This facility will replace its current one, which has been in operation since 1980.
To complement the existing 6,000 tonne fertilizer shed and 7,800 ft2 AWSA heated chemical shed, the new structure will include 25,000 tonnes of grain storage and a 150 car CN loop track for continuous grain loading and movement to serve customers in the surrounding area.
“We look forward to opening this new facility,” said John Heimbecker, Chief Executive Officer, P&H. “This build confirms our commitment to investing in facilities and capabilities that support Canadian producers as they strive to grow and market the best crop and further solidifies our commitment to the growers in the Yorkton area.”
The new location further extends P&H’s National grain asset network, bringing area producers the chance to leverage global grain marketing opportunities provided by the P&H grain merchandising team, which has over 110 years of experience in matching producer grain with the needs of both domestic and export end users.
The Yorkton facility will continue to be home to a team of experts who will leverage a full suite of seed, crop protection, and crop nutrition products and provide area producers with crop input solutions that fit their farm.
