The Missouri Department of Agriculture has increased the number of grain testing sites. The department's Grain Inspection and Warehousing Division has now installed mycotoxin testing systems in each of its five inspection offices, located in New Madrid, Laddonia, Marshall, Kansas City and St. Joseph. These tests detect toxins such as aflatoxin, vomitoxin and fumonisin in wheat, corn and sorghum. The toxins come from mold growth.
