CGC issues three licenses in early September

Three locations are in Saskatchewan

The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) has issued three licenses to grain companies in the first half of the month.

On Sept. 1, Western Harvest Bean ULC in Morden, Man., received a grain dealer license.

This type of license is for “a person who, for reward, on his own behalf or the behalf of another person, deals in or handles western grain,” the CGC says.

Western Harvest Bean brings “growers and buyers of bean seeds together,” its website says.

The company has two elevators in Morden.

One has a 4,540-tonne capacity, and the other has a 10,660-tonne capacity.

The organization also underwent a license change.

As of Sept. 1, the primary license for its location in Treherne, Man., is no longer held.

The CGC granted Cargill a process elevator license on Sept. 5 for its crush plant in Regina, Sask.

A process elevator license “may be issued to an operator of an elevator which receives and stores grain for direct manufacture or processing into other products.”

Canola bids are now live at the crush plant, Cargill’s website says.

And on Sept. 9, the CGC provided primary elevator licenses for Harvest Grain Trading Ltd. in Filmore and Zealandia, Sask.

A primary elevator license goes to “an operator of an elevator which primarily receives grain directly from producers, for either or both storage and forwarding,” the CGC says.

Harvest Grain Trading Ltd. is also a new company name.

Bornhorst Seeds underwent a name change to Harvest Grain Trading on Sept. 9.

Harvest Grain purchased Bornhorst Seeds in November 2024.
