FOLLOWING a huge investment, Presteigne Mill in Powys has now reached a production level of 100,000 tonnes per year.

The Countryside Farmers' mill, built with a Welsh Development Agency grant in 1968, started production of animal feeds in 1972 and in recent years has been producing on average 45,000 tonnes of feed per year.

With more than fifty employees, the site is one of the main employers in the area.

Twenty-seven work in the feed mill and 18 deliver feed to local farmers.
