New Grain Company getting into the pulse & specialty grain market

A newly-incorporated, Saskatchewan-based company is expanding its reach in the pulse and specialty grain market. Harvest Grain Ltd is combining existing assets with new Saskatchewan acquisitions.

Bornhorst Seeds Ltd. at St. Gregor in northeast Saskatchewan, a Canary seed buyer and processor, is an existing asset of the company. In the near term, all grain transactions will occur through Bornhorst, which is fully licensed and bonded by the Canadian Grain Commission. Over time, the name will transition to Harvest Grain.

In southeast Saskatchewan, Harvest Grain is taking full ownership of Harvest Milling at Fillmore, buying out the 50 per cent share previously owned by the Lionel Kambeitz led KF Homestead Properties Inc. The plant handles a wide range of specialty crops.

Harvest Grain Ltd. has also purchased a specialty crop facility at Zealandia in west central Saskatchewan. The plant was previously owned by Global Food and Ingredients which went into receivership in the spring. Previous to that, the facility was owned by Canpulse Foods, which sold it to Global Food and Ingredients.

Harvest Grain Ltd. has three shareholders led by Saskatchewan grain farmer and specialty crop trading veteran David Nobbs.
