A toxin has been found in some Guthrie County corn that may cause it to be treated before it’s turned into feed for livestock consumption. Yale Farmer’s Cooperative Feed Merchandising Manager Scott Fredrickson says toxin testing in grain is standard procedure. “We have been picking up a little of the DON toxin in the corn, so we’re a little concerned about that. We’ll be doing some fairly heavy testing for toxins in the corn. I don’t think it will be a huge issue, but we’re concerned we’ll see a little bit. From the feed side, we’ll talk about probably having to use some toxin binders this year.”

Fredrickson will tell us more about this year’s harvest season,  today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
