Pulse and specialty crops company

Pulse and specialty grain market company expands in Saskatchewan

Nov 12, 2024 | 1:52 PM

There is a new name in pulse and specialty crops.

A newly incorporated, Saskatchewan-based company is expanding its reach in the pulse and specialty grain market. Harvest Grain Ltd is combining existing assets with new Saskatchewan acquisitions.

Shareholder David Nobbs said there has been a tremendous upheaval among pulse and specialty crop trading companies in recent years.

“Harvest Grain Ltd. is in this business for the long term and we look forward to earning both the trust and the business of farmers,” Nobbs said.

Bornhorst Seeds Ltd. at St. Gregor, Sask., a Canary seed buyer and processor, is an existing asset of the company. In the near term, all grain transactions will occur through Bornhorst, which is fully licensed and bonded by the Canadian Grain Commission. Over time, the name will transition to Harvest Grain.

In southeast Saskatchewan, Harvest Grain is taking full ownership of Harvest Milling at Fillmore, Sask., buying out the 50 per cent share previously owned by the Lionel Kambeitz led KF Homestead Properties Inc. The plant handles a wide range of specialty crops.

Harvest Grain Ltd. has also purchased a specialty crop facility at Zealandia in west central Saskatchewan. The plant was previously owned by Global Food and Ingredients which went into receivership in the spring. Before that, the facility was owned by Canpulse Foods, which sold it to Global Food and Ingredients.

Harvest Grain Ltd. has three shareholders led by Nobbs. The other shareholders are Saskatchewan farmer and specialty crop grain facility manager Terry Arnold and specialty crop trader and businessman Rajesh Jain.
