Kernels with Ohio Corn & Wheat

This episode of Kernels kicks off with a hard look at Vomitoxin. Ohio Corn & Wheat Executive Director Tadd Nicholson explains what it is, the scope of the problem in Ohio, and how the Corn Marketing Program is fighting the disastrous fungus. Spoiler alert: No, it is not called Vomitoxin because it makes you vomit.

Also in this episode is a few words from Scott Haerr, a grower from Clark County who serves on the Corn Marketing Program Board of Directors, and Wendy Osborn, the Director of Market Development at Ohio Corn & Wheat. The two were a part of the group who went on a trade mission with the U.S. Grains Council to Southeast Asia in January.

If you listen closely, the team gives a hint to where you can find a last-second Valentines Day card, just in case you need one!

Kernels is a production of Ohio Corn & Wheat and hosts conversations about the corn and wheat industry in Ohio, their respective checkoff programs, and the work the Grower's Association is doing in on behalf of Ohio grain farmers.
