Sprouting was reported in some corn, milo and small grain crops in parts of South Dakota this year. SDSU Extension feedlot specialist Warren Rusche said limited research suggests sprouted small grains or milo feed about the same as normal grain if other quality factors are sound.
Sprouted grain that fails ethanol plant specs may be diverted to livestock feed, adding local feed supply, while mold and mycotoxin concerns could push buyers to discount affected lots.
After 445 past neutral weather events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
