A wooden grain elevator at Dropmore, on the CNR Tonkin Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West, was built in 1928 by United Grain Growers and sold later the same year to Manitoba Pool Elevators. Designated as Pool A at this site, the elevator was closed in July 1971 and demolished in 1972.
