Yes it is clean, but you can buy twice cleaned corn at a hole bunch of places. I have used the apple scented stuff just because that is all they had where I needed to buy corn, or that is what they gave me for reg deer corn at the same price and because my uncle thought it was better. I have never noticed a difference in it either in hill contry or south texas. I wouldnt spend my time or money looking for it specificaly.
I buy corn and protein feed to support the year-round feeding efforts on our lease. And while I never look specifically for corn with the apple scent, the animals in East Texas always seem to eat it a little better.
