Northants Apc

Harvest 2012 will see this powerful new APC on line for farmers in the East Midlands, supported by a 40% grant on construction cost.

It is a crucial link in the food supply chain for growers and consumers alike. Once completed, Northants APC will have the most powerful driers and intake in England. It will allow growers to capture quality locally produced grain year on year, even in difficult harvesting conditions.

With 1.25 million tonnes of flour milling capacity within a 25 mile radius of the store, it will secure supplies of English wheat for the UK market, minimising the requirement for imported foreign grain with all the associated food miles, carbon footprint, and supply uncertainty in these times of tight global supply and demand. Northants APC is aiming to be 100% powered by renewable energy.
