so i heard that corn & or corn stocks that is grown in the drought can be toxic so how do we know if the wasted corn crop is toxic?
looks like my corn field (i been watering it out of the pond) is tassling at 3 ft height
what about the pasture grass that is drought stressed. is the pasture a problem ?
i know johnson grass is what about fescue & orchard & others
thanks for your input
 
Only toxic if thats the ONLY thing you are feeding. What I mean is, if you only have some toxic Johnson grass that your cattle are eating, and NOTHING else, then yes, it could be bad news. But if you have other mixed grasses, along with it, then chances are very slim that it will be harmful. Just speaking from experience here.
