Deere-est Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hiya, yes it's the pressed apple. It's damp but doesn't stick in the trailer on on your boots. I think the presses run between 70% and 85% efficiency so I presume that means m/c is between 15% and 30%.... but that is just me guessing. It gets blended with cereal waste, bakery waste and other foodstuffs to make a feed. All done by a feedstuffs expert so it is actually a diet blend. I'm surprised how much goes to AD to be honest but I suppose it is green energy so is as good a place for it as any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
