Featured in Rural Across the Globe – October 30, 2009

This operational grain elevator is located in Bladworth, Saskatchewan, Canada. It was built in 1958 after the frame annex was built in 1954. It’s run by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. We found this elevator still in operation with a truck inside unloading it’s grain. It’s on the list of Saskatchewan’s Heritage Foundation’s list of 534 elevators in the province still standing.
