I've just updated the list as of February, 2022.
I decided to update the list of Saskatchewan grain elevator locations that I have photos from over the past 20 years or so. Some places have or had more than one location for elevators like Biggar, Saskatoon, Yorkton, just to name a few. I have photos of all of these elevators in this blog. (If you happen to note that I'm missing any, please let me know.)
It's been an interesting project taking these photos. Even now, whenever we revisit Saskatchewan and I see an elevator coming up in the distance I want to stop and take its photo. It's my way of commemorating Saskatchewan's rural past. The cement monstrosities that are replacing them are not nearly as attractive and will never solicit the same memories, I'm sure. Different times, different memories.

Dysart, Sask. ?
Don't have Dysart. I'll put it on the "next time" list and hope it's still standing.
You still missed the 2 elevators that once stood proud on the Saskatchewan River at Clarkboro, SK. That where the ferry is at Clark's Crossing. I so much would like to know when they were built, when torn down, and a picture if possible.
Thanks for any help.
I admit I don't know when they came down. I only started taking elevator photos in 2000. Wikipedia has a write-up of the village that once stood near the Clarkboro ferry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarkboro_Ferry
I have a question, is the town Langham the same place as Lang Saskatchewan?
I have a digitized photo of the elevators. from Lang(6 elevators!) Taken by my father in the very early 60’s. I’d like to have it posted on your website. Please reply with a contact info.
Great to see these photos !
Thanks Chris
Lang and Langham are two different places. I would be willing to post your photo on my website.
