Central Ontario FS, a retail division of GROWMARK, Inc. has entered into a purchase agreement with Giffen Grain Elevator located in Minesing, Ontario. In conjunction with Great Lakes Grain, the elevator will be operated to provide grain marketing services in the Simcoe County region as part of our grain cooperative system.

This strategic acquisition represents a key step in the continued growth of our grain elevator system. It enhances our ability to serve growers in the region and reinforces our commitment to providing trusted, local solutions backed by the strength of our co-operative network.

We’re also pleased to share that Larry Giffen will continue to operate the facility during the transition, ensuring a smooth handover and ongoing support for local farmers.

Grain contracting for the Giffen location will be coordinated through our Beeton Elevator.

For more information, please contact the Beeton office at (905) 729-2047 or Grain Originator Jim Irvine at (519) 835-9929 or jimi@greatlakesgrain.com.

We’re excited about this new opportunity and the potential it brings to better serve producers in Simcoe, County.
