Another grain company has signed a handling agreement with CWB.

Richardson will accept farmers deliveries of grain for CWB contracts at all of its locations, including its network of Richardson Pioneer elevators. Viterra, Cargill, Louis Dreyfus and a number of smaller companies had previous signed similar deals.

The agreements are needed because CWB does not own any elevators or port facilities. Farmers can delivery CWB grain to more than 170 delivery points across Western Canada.
