Toxins Cutting into Wheat Income in Ohio

Higher than normal level of toxins are slashing the income of some farmers in Ohio.

According to representatives of the Ohio State University Extension Service, vomitoxin levels are the worst in seven to ten years in some areas of the state, especially areas where it's cooler and wet.

A wet May in particular produced conditions for the fungus to thrive.

The high levels of toxins limit the use of wheat for people, and also in livestock, especially pigs, which could cause a lot of problems in them.
