Optimized dewatering process for an agricultural production facility

A method of processing corn, the method comprising:

• receiving a mixture including corn and liquids;
• milling the mixture a first time to coarsely grind the corn;
• dewatering germ-rich materials of the mixture with an insoluble solids stream with a rotary press to produce 1) a first liquid with particles stream and 2) first insoluble solids, which have solids content of greater than about 25% solids to about 70% solids;
• milling the mixture a second time to release germs;
• and
• dewatering germ-lean materials of the mixture with the insoluble solids stream to produce 3) a second liquid with particles stream and 4) second insoluble solids, which have solids content of about 10% to about 70% solids;
• wherein the first liquid with the particles stream contain about 1% to 20% solids.
