Pumped up about cleaner fuel

A consortium of six agricultural cooperatives in Spokane County has formed Pacific Bio LLC to operate a crusher to process up to 30,000 acres of their own oilseeds. They hope to plant oilseed crops next year and get into biodiesel production later. Having home-grown oil and local processors should lower the cost of biodiesel. “We should be able to beat the price of Midwestern biodiesel, because we don’t have to transport it here,” said Tim Stearns, a senior energy analyst with the state government’s Community Trade and Economic Development division. It also has the dual benefit of stimulating rural economic development. “We are hoping to diversify the agricultural sector,” Stearns said. He also sees a market for exporting biodiesel knowledge…
“If we get good at it, there’s the whole rest of the world that’s going to need expertise and advice,” he said. “We can either be driving the steamroller, or we can be driven over by it.

Datacraft Solutions will further enable and advance our processing tools and culture in this regard. Each time Follett Ice expanded their home grown system, the company was forced to add small tweaks that make each one unique. The ERP system being used did not communicate with the ERP system in the way that Datacraft Solutions does. These calculations leave out the people time investment.
