Agricultural Products Processing definition
Agricultural Products Processing means the act of changing an agricultural crop, subsequent to its harvest, from its natural state to the initial stage of processing of that crop in order to prepare it for market or further processing at an off-site location. Examples of this processing include nut hulling and shelling, bean cleaning, corn shelling and sorting, grape sorting and crushing, primary processing of fruits to juice and initial storage of the juice, without fermentation, cleaning and packing of fruits. This listing specifically excludes processing of medical marijuana, which is listed under “medical marijuana cultivation,” and it also specifically excludes “commercial marijuana activity” and outdoor cultivation of marijuana, which is prohibited under EGMC 23.83.
Agricultural Products Processing means the processing of non-animal agricultural products including but not limited to the processing, cleaning, sorting, grading, packaging, or milling of products intended for human or animal consumption or use.
