First Point of Processing means the location where harvested crops, bees, fowl, fish, livestock, animals, or their products, such as wool, milk, or eggs, are first altered from their original state, or the first location where unaltered products are packaged and prepared for transportation. First point of processing is not a location of the product’s final use and for some crops the location may be in the field, such as chipping wood. First point of processing also includes biomass facilities that receive agricultural waste in the form of unprocessed agricultural materials. A first point of processing may include, but is not limited to, packinghouses, slaughterhouses, cotton gins, nut hullers/shellers and processors, dehydrators, lumber mills, feed and grain mills, and biomass facilities. First point of processing does not include distribution centers, wholesale retail sales locations where the first processing of product does not occur, livestock auction houses, and subsequent locations where processing, canning, or similar activities occur after departing a first point of processing location.
