Weather conditions increase the possibility of Aflatoxin in corn

Due to the weather conditions over the last few months in the US there is a worry of aflatoxin in the corn. Aflatoxin does not cause yield loss, but it does affect the quality, and quality loss is covered by farm level crop insurance plans contained in the COMBO. The levels of aflatoxin to monitor are above 20 parts per billion. The grain should be inspected and tested before it is put into storage, as federal crop insurance will not cover grain losses that was in storage. Read more...

Allow your corn to dry in the fields if you can

This years weather has been difficult, not a typical year. But Iowa State University agriculture engineer Charles Hurburgh recommends leaving the crops out a little longer to dry out, but only if you know the stalks can hold on until the combine rolls. "If you determine that particular fields have stalk rot, which is prevalent this year, harvest those fields early and dry the corn. At current corn prices, drying is preferable to grain loss. At US$2 (â‚Ź1.466) per gallon for propane, the drying cost in an average dryer for one point of moisture is equal to about 0.25 percent field loss, with US$7 (â‚Ź5.13) corn". Read more ...
