Parrish & Heimbecker is building a new crop input centre and grain terminal.

The new facility, which will be named Grand Plains and located close to Gilbert Plains, will house 25,000-30,000 tonnes of grain storage with a receiving capacity of 550 tonnes per hour and a load-out capacity of 1,500 tonnes per hour.

The site will also have a bulk fertilizer shed located on CN Railway to provide greater access to fertilizer markets across North America and around the globe.

The fertilizer shed will have a 6,000 tonne capacity and blending capability of 250 tonnes per hour. A chemical storage shed, seed treating facilities and new grain drying system will also be located on site.

They made the announcement this morning as part of their FIT trials taking place today.
