December 5th, 2015 was a typical day on Dennis Schneider’s farm in Corder, Mo. He was working to get corn out of a grain bin, one that had been on his farm since the late 1970s. “I had a little bit of mold on the top of the corn, and I thought, ‘Well, I’ll just get up there and watch it to make sure no big chunks go down into the auger and choke it up,’” remembers Schneider.
