A wooden grain elevator at Oakner, in the Municipality of Hamiota on the Canadian National Railway, was constructed between 1978 and 1979. Opened by Cargill Grain in October 1979, the 14,000-tonne facility consisted of three steel bins, three 130-foot concrete silos, bulk fertilizer storage, liquid storage tanks, chemical shed, and an office building. The wooden portion of the complex was demolished in February 2018.
