In our growing area, the piles of good apples discarded by packing sheds, would be a surprise to most. The number one reason the apples are tossed is because they are of a size that will not retail well for a grocery store. Because of cheap imported apple juice, IE Walmart and Kroger store group, very few will ever be processed into juice. These discarded apples often end up as cow food at a dairy. A real waste because of finicky consumer behaviors.
