Viterra operates a grain elevator complex in Northeast Minneapolis, part of a network of storage terminals built along the rail corridor that once served the city's flour milling industry. The elevators in this district trace back to the early 20th century, when Minneapolis led the nation in flour production and depended on rail lines to move wheat in from the Great Plains. Viterra, a global grain trading company, now uses facilities like this one for storage and transfer rather than milling. The surrounding rail-adjacent industrial zone still supports grain handling operations tied to regional agriculture.
