What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Parrish and Heimbecker confirmed that its Owen Sound terminal, which operates as Great Lakes Elevators, will close on December 18, 2026. Local grain farmers, including Jeff Curry of Sharedon Farms Ltd., currently use the terminal to sell wheat and cereals. Following the closure, wheat is being moved to other locations, such as Hamilton.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The closure removes core storage capacity in Owen Sound, which was previously used to feed Parrish and Heimbecker's mills. This change in logistics means local farmers will have to find alternative outlets and incur higher shipping costs.
