Our fields aren’t the only ones battling the dry conditions and increased temperatures. Our livestock have also been suffering which poses a threat to many producers who are concerned about the consequences of economic losses. As a general rule of thumb, producers need to keep in mind the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI).

While enjoying the mild Canadian winter, the last thing on a producer’s mind is the threat of mycotoxins on their farms.But an early and unseasonal increase in temperature gives mould growth and its subsequent mycotoxin formations an ideal environment in storage facilities.
