Wet-Corn Webinar Scheduled for Nov. 18

Late corn plantings, a cool summer and a record wet fall have many crop and livestock producers concerned with corn at 25-30% moisture and the presence of yeast, molds and mycotoxins.

To address those concerns, University of Illinois specialists will conduct a webinar on Nov. 18 from noon to 1 p.m. Central Standard Time.

--PC-based attendees: Windows 2000, XP Home, XP Pro, 2003 Server or Vista.

--Macintosh-based attendees: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or newer.

Topics to be covered include:

--Status of wet molds and mycotoxin formation;

--Update of mycotoxin levels measured in commercial labs;

--Storage alternatives including drying, high-moisture corn and use of propionic acid;

--Pricing wet corn;

--Feed value of immature corn for livestock;
