A 150,000-bushel composite-style wooden grain elevator at Dutton Siding, on the CNR Togo Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Gilbert Plains, was built between 1985 and 1986 by Pioneer Grain. Traded to United Grain Growers in 1995, it was sold by Agricore United to Parrish and Heimbecker in 2002.
