Questions
What is the most an elevator can charge for wheat (including durum) drying in Manitoba?
Filed maximums for tough grain run from $10.00 to $45.00/t across the 9 company schedules that set a figure a tonne, at licensed primary elevators in Manitoba (Canadian Grain Commission summary, crop year 2026–27). A company may charge less, never more than it filed.
Is the filed maximum what I will pay?
Not necessarily. Licensed elevators must file their maximum charges with the Canadian Grain Commission and can’t charge more, but they may charge less, and many negotiate. Ask the elevator before you haul.
