Historic Sites of Manitoba: Manitoba Pool Grain Elevator / United Grain Growers Grain Elevator (Hargrave, RM of Wallace-Woodworth)Link to: A 40,000-bushel wooden grain elevator in Hargrave, on the CPR Broadview Subdivision in what is now the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth, was built in 1928 for a local farmer cooperative by Manitoba Pool Elevators. In 1952, the elevator’s capacity was increased to 85,000 bushels with the construction of a balloon annex alongside it. Traded to UGG in April 1979, the elevator was operated by its successors Agricore United (2001-2007) and Viterra (2007-2011). The elevator closed in 2011 and was demolished in July 2014.
