[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4767044, member: 1409"] Zero turkeys, not just zero poults. One bad kernel will kill an adult turkey. I used to buy [i]"Certified Aflatoxin Free"[/i] corn from the Co-Op. Quit feeding even that after finding it could be bad for [u]developing[/u] aflatoxin [i]AFTER [/i]being poured out. Much of the "Deer Corn" sold at Wal-mart (and other stores) [i]ALREADY [/i]contains the aflatoxin. In some states, such as Texas, it is illegal to sell bagged corn that has not been certified aflatoxin free. So when the aflatoxin is found, that corn simply gets shipped to states where it's legal to sell, like Tennessee. IMO, aflatoxin corn has been a significant factor in regional quail & turkey population declines. Think about how relatively few corn feeders dotted the landscape over two decades ago, then compare to now. [/QUOTE]
