"I would say at times there is 25% of the crop that is just thrown away or fed to cattle" One of these is waste, one not. Perhaps their definition of waste needs to be reviewed.

Yes feeding cattle excess (over demand) crops could be called recycling for instance. Get something of value out of it instead of e.g. burning it.

It's a waste if that is not an efficient way to feed cattle. There's a reason we don't grow watermelons intentionally as cattle feed.
