While you had it worse than most in your area, the growing degree days were too short this year in most of the midwest & corn everywhere was very wet. One load of mine tested 36&; a lot were between 28-30%, now at the end some got down to 19% but very few; 23-24% was normal even at the end. We planted ahead of normal & had a very dry summer.
We had a different type of mold grow on the corn kernals. They say ours wasn't harmful, but wow it's scary to see that. Never really saw anything like it before.
The mold you have is a regional thing, it affected your area real bad. It makes animals sick; they actually refuse to eat the feed if the levels are too high. Either your corn will need to be hauled out; or non-moldy corn will need to be hauled in. Then get blened together to get the bad mold level low enough.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
