CP Canadian Pacific Kansas City Limited

Viterra (TSX:VT) today announced plans to expand its high throughput elevator at
Provost, Alberta, 120 kilometres southwest of Lloydminster, Alberta.


The project will increase the loading capability of the facility, served by
Canadian Pacific ("CP"), to 112 railcars from 56 and raise its storage capacity
by 12,000 tonnes, to a total of 29,300 tonnes.


"Our expansion at Provost is consistent with our overall strategy to optimize
our footprint in Western Canada and move a greater percentage of 100-car
shipments to export position," said Bob Miller, Senior Vice-President, Grain,
North America. "With these improved capacities and operational efficiencies, we
are generating value for our farm customers, end use customers and the industry
as a whole."


Construction is slated to begin in the spring of 2009 and is scheduled for
completion in the fall harvest period. It will increase the number of 100-car
loading facilities in Viterra's network to 36.


"Viterra's latest infrastructure investment is a welcome addition to the grain
handling system," said Michael Adams, Canadian Pacific's Assistant
Vice-President, Grain." "Efficient elevator operations and capabilities enhance
CP's ability to create pipeline capacity in the overall grain handling network."


Last year, Viterra completed similar railcar capacity improvements at its high
throughput elevators at Grenfell, Saskatchewan and Grassy Lake, Alberta.
Additionally the Company is constructing a new terminal at Sexsmith, Alberta in
the Peace River region.
