Welcome to this week’s Monday Mycotoxin & Crop Report!

• Corn harvest continues to progress ahead of last year.
• Dry weather promotes harvest — hinders winter wheat and cover crops.
• Fumonisin reported in corn.

Corn harvest continues to rapidly progress with 65% of the corn acreage harvested — 10 percentage points ahead of last year, and 13 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. 98% of the corn crop was mature, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 3 points ahead of the 5-year average.

Weather conditions continue to be primarily dry and warm — driving fall harvest to quickly move along; however, negatively effecting emerging winter wheat.

Fumonisin in corn around 10 ppm has been reported in Illinois and Iowa.

To review ongoing trends and levels being reported:

Aflatoxin in corn has been reported in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina with levels ranging from 20 ppb to 50 ppb.

DON has been reported in:

• Iowa — 1 ppm
• Ontario — 2 ppm

Zearalenone in corn has been reported in:

• Iowa — <500 ppb

As harvest continues to progress, we will monitor results and conditions for potential mycotoxin contamination.
