The town of Elrose, Saskatchewan is located south of Rosetown and north of Swift Current. In 1980 it had at least two grain elevators, a Federal Grain Limited elevator and a Saskatchewan Wheat Pool grain elevator.
A photo from February 1977 shows three grain elevators in Elrose – two UGG and a Pool.
The (last?) UGG grain elevator in Elrose was demolished on June 24, 2014.
