With the wet and humid conditions that we have seen this year, fungal diseases and problems like mycotoxins in grain have been a big issue.

This article from The Counter describes how molds produce mycotoxins when they are stressed by weather like high temperatures. It also describes the effects of these mycotoxins on livestock.
