Aflatoxin, a fungus
found on CORN and other GRAINS,
can cause illness in animals and is associated with
liver cancer in humans. Symptoms of aflatoxin poisoning
include lethargy, loss of appetite, yellowish eyes and
gums, and severe diarrhea.
USAgnet. December 30, 2005.
Projected
2005/06 U.S. CORN STOCKS rise from
last month due to a drop in exports. No changes are
made to projected U.S. 2005/06 corn production, imports,
or domestic use. CORN EXPORTS are down
100 million bushels from last month due primarily to
increased corn exports by China and Ukraine.

Lamberty (executive director of the American Coalition
for Ethanol) also rejected the criticism that ethanol
should be rethought because it has to be subsidized,
saying that oil is also subsidized.
"We don't apologize for the fact
that ethanol is taxed lower," Lamberty said. "We're
not over in the Middle East because were trying to get
Persian rugs. We've got a large Defense Department present
in the Persian Gulf so we can bring fuel back at a low
price."
