Harvest has been in full swing the last few weeks, even though unpredictable weather has kept producers working around scattered showers and cooler temperatures.

The Camrose Cargill Canola Crushing Plant is kept busy throughout the year with the capacity to process 3,500 metric tonnes of canola daily while Cargill’s grain elevator just east of Camrose handles 65 trucks per day of various commodities, including wheat, barley, and peas as well as canola. Each day approximately 15 to 20 meal cars and 12 to 16 canola oil cars go through the crush facility. At the elevator, 100 rail cars per week are filled for shipment. The Cargill Canola Crushing Plant recently finished its first year in operation just outside of Camrose (the plant started processing canola in May of 2015). The company has been extremely pleased with the response of the local farming community, and has been able to operate the plant at the desired rates throughout the year.
