[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7470752, member: 946"] I know what you mean, but at least they have another spud buyer. I suppose the question is, do you build a big modern factory with a low cost per unit of produce and have some transport or a lot of smaller processors in each town. There's a dairy factory near here that can process over 12 million litres of milk in 24 hours. It takes some feeding. They actually haul milk past another dryer they own if they can run it through one of the more modern driers ( assuming they don't want it for something else) as the newer drier has a lower cost per KG of powder, even after the extra transport. The local frozen chip factory gets all its spuds from fields up to 130km's away, a lot of the frozen product ends up in Asia. Everything's complicated. [/QUOTE]
