#1 Organic Feed Supplement

Mycotoxin AlertOrganic Valley has received confirmed reports of mycotoxin-contaminated grains, forages and bedding in New England and New York.

Animals that ingest mycotoxins typically experience symptoms including digestive tract reactions, reproductive issues, general malaise and reduced milk production. Toxins can be passed through to milk causing contamination and rejected loads.

Regions with flooding in forage and small grain fields during the growing season have an increased risk. Feed collected from flooded fields is not considered safe to feed to livestock.

Farmers should test any grains or forages purchased from neighbors or collected off of your own farm. If farm-stored forages test positive, but are below toxic levels, you may opt to find an organically ap-proved toxin binder to include in your feed blend.

Questions about mycotoxin testing and treatment? Call the Farmer Hotline at 888-809-9297.

FORAGE FERMANTATION AND STORAGE AID

SILO MAXX SPECIAL

Sa�sed Customer Ma� Houmes and his father, Bryan farm 700 acres of alfalfa hay both conven‐�onally and organically near Veedersburg, IN which is in the west central part of the state. They produce 3’ X 4’ big square bales usually between 20% and 50% moisture depending on their target market. They stand behind their bales so problems like moldy, dusty and faded bales must be prevented.

The Houmes’ have used preserva�ves for over 15 years, star�ng with the market leader. They had pre�y good success with that product, however they began looking for a product that could do as good of a job, but at a much more palatable price. Eventually, their search found Silo Maxx Special. They have now used Silo Maxx Special for about 3 years and have very li�le hay that had to be replaced to the farmer and they are trea�ng at less than half the cost! Silo Maxx has stood out over the rest in the par�cularly difficult task of preserving large square bales at modest moistures.
