[QUOTE="Jackov Altraids, post: 8094773, member: 3566"] That's definitely part of my genuine question due to my obvious ignorance on this. Looking at my last feed ticket, it includes beet pulp, wheat gluten, distillers grains and soya hulls. I guess these are products left over after being processed. Given it costs over £300 / ton, the processors must be getting back a reasonable percentage of the cost of the original product. Do AD plants pay the full market rate for these items? If a mill pays £260 for wheat and recoups half by selling the wheat feed, that is potentially halving their costs? I'm also interested in how arable farmers see growing crops with respect to supplying animal feeds. [/QUOTE]
