At Level 5 Farming, I'm faced with a choice of Rancher or Tiller for a profession.
The Rancher bonus of 20% is appealing to me, but right now all my animal products get processed (cooking, mayonnaise, etc). As far as I can tell, the game treats these items as "Cooking" or "Artisan" items, not animal products.
So at this point I'm unsure if the Rancher bonus will be very useful to me. Will a Rancher bonus apply to processed items like Mayonnaise?

According to posts in this thread, Artisan products are counted as animal products and will benefit from the Rancher perk, as of February 2016.
