Carrots are an interesting one. In rural America, where I grew up in the midwest, it used to be that you could fill an entire truck bed for $10 US with the "ugly" carrots from farmers who had large rejection stocks. No idea if this is still done today but I have no reason to believe it isn't.
- megaman22 9y agoWe used to do the same thing with the drop apples that fell off the trees before they were picked. If you picked ALL of them, to clean up, we used to get them for $1 per 100 lb grain bag. Some of them were mush or partly rotted, or just ugly, but who really cares, when they're going to be mostly pig food? There were always enough nice apples to save out a couple bags for freezing or making pies or applesauce.
