ADM and Bacres Grain, managed by Group Solum, announced a partnership to enhance grain marketing opportunities for farmers delivering corn, soybeans, and wheat to the Bacres elevator in Alvinston.
Under the agreement, ADM will purchase and market grain from the Bacres facility, while Bacres Grain retains ownership and operational control of the elevator. The partnership grants growers access to ADM’s extensive processing, logistics, and export networks across Ontario and internationally, broadening options for selling their grain.
Chad Quinlan, ADM’s Ontario grain trading manager, highlighted the benefits for local farmers. “ADM’s processing and logistics networks help connect farmers to new markets around the world, and we look forward to working with farmers in and around Alvinston to market their grain and strengthen their businesses,” Quinlan said.
Michaela Tessemaker, general manager of Group Solum, expressed pride in the collaboration. “Partnering with ADM is something we’re genuinely proud of. Bacres Grain has always been committed to the farmers in this region, and this agreement is a direct extension of that,” Tessemaker said. “We’re expanding what we can offer, and we’re doing it alongside one of the strongest names in the grain business.”
The partnership is set to take effect in October 2026, aiming to provide southwestern Ontario farmers with enhanced market access and support.
