G3 is Moving Alberta Farmers’ Grain to Market Faster Than Ever

G3 is Moving Alberta Farmers’ Grain to Market Faster Than Ever
Alberta farmer Craig Mills started delivering grain to G3’s Morinville elevator as soon as it opened in

2020. He liked what he saw right away.
      “A bright, clean modern facility, nice and clean and fresh,” he says. Since then, he says he’s appreciated
      that the facility has maintained its speed and efficiency even as more and more producers choose to
      haul their grain there, getting trucks in and out quickly.
      General Manager Ryan Dechief is accustomed to the positive reviews.
      “Our customers appreciate the speed of our unloads and the calibre of people they meet at G3 on the
      driveway and in the office,” he says. “They’re surprised at how quickly and consistently we ship grain out
      of our plant and happy to see that efficiency reflected in the prices we offer.”
      G3 Morinville features the same loop-track design as the Winnipeg-based company’s other highefficiency
      grain elevators across the Prairies. It allows the facility to bring an entire 150-car grain train
      onto the property and load it in continuous motion as it moves around the track. The train delivers the
      grain to G3 Terminal Vancouver and within a few days is back at the prairie elevator for another load.
      “Grain movement is all about operational efficiency. Our model integrates the most modern and novel
      engineering designs at all points in the supply chain. This reduces operational costs while increasing the
      speed at which we can move grain from farm to boat,” says Dechief.
      That means more delivery opportunities and more competitive prices for Canadian farmers marketing
      their grain. It’s part of a system that features high efficiency top to bottom, says Dechief.
