An 80,000-bushel wooden grain elevator at Pilot Mound, on the CPR Napinka Subdivision in the Municipality of Louise, was built in 1957 by Manitoba Pool Elevators to replace an older elevator (1928) and balloon annex (1951) having about the same total capacity. Renovated extensively in 1972, and expanded to 191,000 bushels with a crib annex in 1975, the elevator was closed by Agricore in November 2000. It was demolished in August 2003.
