A Washington-grain export company announced that it has acquired a grain storage and shipping operation in Ontario, reports the Malheur Enterprise.
United Grain Corp. of Vancouver on Saturday took ownership of the Ontario facility and one in Idaho that belonged to the Scoular Company, the corporation said in a press release.
Stephanie McClintock, public relations manager for United Grain Corp., said that while the corporation is acquiring the new facilities from Scoular, it is not hiring its employees.
McClintock said that Scoular announced the acquisition to its employees Monday.
The Ontario facility will primarily deal with wheat, McClintock said, but United Grain will work with Scoular over the next year on the company’s corn program.
