[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 115083, member: 43"] FWIW, anybody that is considering grazing standing dry corn that grew up extremely drought stressed may want to consider having it tested for nitrate poison. I imagine that Prussic acid poisoning should't be a problem since it dissipates over a relatively short period of time. Also, consider the possibility of aflatoxin in the drought stressed corn ears. I can't remember if aflatoxin continues to be a problem after corn has gotten "old" and completely dried out on the stalk, but it can sure be a problem for corn that is harvested in the traditional manner, at normal moisture levels. As I recall, aflatoxin in drought stressed corn is more common if certain types or worms hit the ears, can't remember which kind of worms though. [/QUOTE]
