Cattle deaths on Herbison farm blamed on toxic silage
On a 40 acre farm four silos fed dairy cows died after suspected organophosphate exposure from silage. Veterinary tests linked the loss to corn rootworm pesticide while the Herbisons deny any usage in two years. A vast insurance gap and hopes for an emergency loan follow. A four leaf clover found by Mrs. Herbison offered a rare note of hope.
