Back in 1994, a group of area producers had a vision to create an inland grain
terminal located on CP main line on the #1 hwy. The landscape of the prairies
was drastically changing with wooden elevators closing and efficiencies being
developed along the mainline. After 3 years of hard work, their dream came
to life. SWT opened their doors to producers on January 8, 1997. SWT became
the first producer owned terminal in south west Saskatchewan. As the years
progressed, SWT believed there was an increasing need for crop protection and
fertilizer services. So in 2000, SWT's first crop inputs location was built at the
Gull Lake site where the terminal is located. From there, SWT expanded its crop
inputs services to Hazenmore in 2003, Cabri in 2009 and Shaunavon in 2011.
SWT is built on the foundation of the original directors visions and continue to
service producers needs of south west Saskatchewan.
