Recently mycotoxins in corn have had tighter limits as to what is acceptable, this increases the impact of a disease like fusarium on a crop. In 2006 an outbreak of fusarium in the corn crop was not detected until harvest, this caused a loss of $60 million for corn producers, hog producers also suffered as the amount of clean grain became limited. The lack of communication and lack of an early detection system created a misunderstanding among stakeholders and the problem was not addressed until it was to late. Some reasons why the 2006 crop had such bad fusarium was that not enough attention was paid towards hybrids. Some hybrids were partially resistant to DON but because in nature the disease changes year to year the corn was not protected from the certain kind of fusarium. It is recommended that a controlled environmental corn hybrid screening program on campus be created. Wet conditions are ideal for fusarium to thrive, it is recommended that weather conditions like that should be tracked and posted on a web-based log so producers can have early warning about a potential fusarium outbreak. Improved communication is key to controlling fusarium in corn crops.
