A 66,900-bushel grain elevator at Bield, on the CNR Togo Subdivision in what is now the Municipality of Roblin, was constructed in 1927 by the Northern Elevator Company. Bought by Manitoba Pool Elevators, major renovations were carried out in 1954 and a new annex was built in 1968. The elevator closed in December 1975 and was torn down in mid-1978.
