I've been feeding it for years and I haven't seen evidence of critters dieing. Hogs and coons mop it up.

Take a 5 gal bucket full of corn and fill it up with water, let it sit for a few days, then put it in your bucket or pipe feeder.

Or simply use a tire feeder filled with corn and fill it with water.

You can put kool aid, brown sugar, syrup, mollases, vanillia, or whatever you desire in it, but plain ole sour corn will do the trick.

Must be reading about aphlatoxin corn. That is corn that wasn't harvested dried properly or stored dry enough. That is diffenent than sour corn.

sour ferminted corn is ok its damp moldy corn that kills. If you are going to use sour corn make sure it stays in water and you will be fine.

We had some up here about 10 years ago where the elevator checked every load but i don't know if they test every load these days, I think the problem really is not every kernel of corn in a load will have it so if the sample doesnt have an infected kernel how can they really catch it.Look at it this way a truck carries 1000 bushels a load or 56000 pounds and the elevator pulls about a pound to check moisture, test weight and so on.
