    Never haul fish meal from a hot climate to a very cold one... there’s just enough moisture to create a slightly frozen block .. 6 hrs breaking it into chunks never again would I touch it

    It's a byproduct of ethanol plants that's like candy to cows. Some places dry it down better and it comes out easier, other places you've got to get in and stomp it out.

    I just remembered, the s stands for solubles.

    It's just kind of sticky, not enough starch to make it less so, almost no starch.

    They export lots of it, you see hopper cars and ethanol tank cars parked at ethanol plants.
