[QUOTE="ILrepacker, post: 758408, member: 14241"] I run a fresh produce repacking operation just outside of Chicago. We're repacking fresh sweet corn for retail and are generating a large amount of "by-product" consisting of corn husks, silk and small pieces of cob with kernels amounting to 5-10% of the total. I'm looking for any options for reusing the material for feed, composting, etc. and from the basic research we've done, cattle appear to be the primary consumers of this type of material (in dried form). We dont have any way to dry or process the material, so it would have to be taken as is and will be available through August-September. From the information on this board, there are a clearly a large number of you educated on this subject, any insight, information or education you would be willing to provide would be greatly appreciated.
