Suspect they'll turn up their noses at it.

I'd think if it stood out there in the weather for a little while before you pick it,it might be OK. I had a field partially burn off one time and didn't have a problem with it mixed in with unburned corn. Those fires burn so fast that I doubt the grain even got very warm.

Back in 1964 Dad had a barn fire and a wooden grainery full of wheat burned too. The wheat stunk bad,but he and my uncle took it to my uncles place and spread it out in the barn. After a few months,the smell went away and he sold it.

We got high moisture corn out of a Harvestore that went through a barn fire. The stuff smelt terrible but tested fine, animals ate it just the same. All you can do is try. Good luck.

They were discussing this on the other forum - newagtalk - and a couple fellas said it feeds the same as regualr corn, cattle don't have much problem with it, just how to harvest it is all.
