Slemko selected the Hussar
Community Hall.
Slemko purchased his Lallemand
inoculant from the Strathmore UFA,
and UFA has since offered to add a
$1,000 donation alongside Lallemand’s
$5,000, for a total of $6,000, which will
provide a real boost to the communityowned
and operated facility.
“At Lallemand, we recognize the
importance of communities – big or
small, they can provide countless
opportunities for growth and experience.
The Lallemand Hometown Roots
Family Contest is a way for us to give
back to growers and their communities,”
says Colin Sebulsky, Marketing
Manager, Lallemand Plant Care.
During the contest, from November
2021 through May 2022, growers in
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
had the opportunity to enter by either
purchasing Lallemand Plant Care

them and how

G3 is moving Alberta
farmers’ grain to
market faster than ever
Alberta farmer Craig Mills started
delivering grain to G3’s Morinville elevator
as soon as it opened in 2020.
He liked what he saw right away.
“A bright, clean modern facility, nice
and clean and fresh,” he says.
Since then, he says he’s appreciated
that the facility has maintained its
speed and efficiency even as more and
more producers choose to haul their
grain there, getting trucks in and out
quickly.
General Manager Ryan Dechief is
accustomed to the positive reviews.
“Our customers appreciate the speed
of our unloads and the calibre of
people they meet at G3 on the driveway
and in the office,” he says.
“They’re surprised at how quickly
and consistently we ship grain out of
our plant and happy to see that efficiency
reflected in the prices we offer.”
G3 Morinville features the same
loop-track design as the Winnipegbased
company’s other high efficiency
grain elevators across the Prairies.
It allows the facility to bring an
entire 150-car grain train onto the
property and load it in continuous
motion as it moves around the track.
The train delivers the grain to G3
Terminal Vancouver and within a few
days is back at the prairie elevator for
another load.
“Grain movement is all about operational
efficiency. Our model integrates
the most modern and novel engineering
designs at all points in the
supply chain. This reduces operational
costs while increasing the speed at
which we can move grain from farm to
boat,” says Dechief.
That means more delivery opportunities
and more competitive prices for
Canadian farmers marketing their
grain.
It’s part of a system that features
high efficiency top to bottom, says
Dechief.
G3 has more than 600 employees at
facilities across Canada.
