[QUOTE="Nick Wagner, post: 1770062, member: 25329"] Hogs will refuse to eat feed containing aflatoxin, cattle can handle some. Here in corn country, they test loads of corn for aflatoxin before dumping and most receivers have a limit they will accept. It can be difficult to find a buyer for corn with high levels of aflatoxin. So to answer your question, someone can buy truckloads of corn at a discount, bag it as deer corn, and sell it at a premium. Truth is, you have to watch your local elevator as well. One time I miscalculated and ran out of corn before harvest, ran a wagon to town and bought corn right out of the side of a corn silo. My steers refused to eat the crap. I have no idea where all the dirt and dust in that corn came from, nothing like the golden colored corn I dumped there over the years. [/QUOTE]
