Smutty Corn Not Poisonous to Animals
Dr. R. P. Link of the University of Illinois states that smutty corn is not poisonous to livestock. Animals fed only on smutty corn may have digestive upset, but such issues are unlikely when animals have other feed options. Feeding smut-infested corn in silos does not render it poisonous.

Soybean Mills Report Narrow Profit Margin
Chicago reports show several soybean processors consider curtailing operations due to high bean costs and weak demand for bean meal and oil. President Robert Houghtlin of the National Soybean Processors Association says processors are not making a profit as marketings delay and bean prices shift with harvest conditions. A Cargill spokesman in Chicago notes profits hinge on the bean purchase price versus meat and oil returns.
