Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator / Paterson Grain Elevator / Private Grain Elevator (Minto, Municipality of Grassland)Link to: A wooden grain elevator at Minto, on the CNR Hartney Subdivision in the Municipality of Grassland, was built by Manitoba Pool Elevators in 1928. Traded to Paterson Grain in mid-1988 for its elevators at St. Jean Baptiste and Alexander, the elevator closed in 2005 around the time the line was abandoned and tracks were removed. They were sold to a local farmer and used for his personal grain storage. A windstorm in 2014 damaged the top of the elevator and its general poor condition led the farmer to demolish it in January 2015, along with the adjacent Paterson grain elevator. Agents / Buyers
