FarmTech Energy Corporation and FarmTech Growers Co-Op are farmer lead initiatives created to develop a 210 MMLY dry mill ethanol plant in Durham Region. The co-op will consist of local area farmers and other members of the community. The purpose of this endeavour is to keep the ethanol process in the hands of the corn producers. There are over 1,700 corn growers in the area from Hwy 400 to Belleville that would be directly affected by a plant in Durham Region. One of the co-products of the ethanol process is dried distiller grains (DDGS) a highly sought after quality feed for the livestock industry. The local farmers would benefit greatly from the access to a local supply of DDGS.
