Ted Allen of Taber, first vice president of the United Grain Growers, says the co operative will invade regions held by rival elevator firms to expand its share of the grain trade. The plan includes new and upgraded country elevators, mainly in Saskatchewan with several Alberta sites, and a shift to concentrate spending there over export terminals.
