Mole Valley Farmers has announced the reopening of Lifton Feed Mill following a £4m investment.
The Devon feed mill was opened by president of the National Farmers Union Minette Batters. The investment will boost the retailer's manufacturing capabilities by improving the mill's raw material storage capacity and enabling feed production to increase by around 20,000 tonnes to a total of 135,000 tonnes a year.
The project, on the Devon and Cornwall border, involved the construction of 12 new 70-tonne raw material bins and seven new 8-tonne mini bulk handling bins, resulting in a total on site storage capacity of between 900 to 1,000 tonnes.
