Hello all. I'm back. Long day hauling corn. They're checking us hard for aflatoxin. If they pull you out it's about a 20 minute wait. I've been OK but alot of rejected redirected loads. Mrs. Bullhaulerswife I would assume he was hauling rice out of Riceland's Jonesboro plant. 15 incoming pits plus outgoing white,brown, and parboiled rice makes for alot of hopper traffic. I'm always seeing new guys. I would assume he was hauling stained rice or burnt rough rice if it was going for dogfood. I haul rough inbound. Nice folks I like hauling there.
RW I haven't noticed or heard of rough rice being hard on alum. hoppers. That's all we've got. This new hybrid rice does itch like milo and real sharp fines feel like knives if you get em in your eye. Gotta try to stay upwind when loading.
This is a great thread. I like hearing from other hopper draggers.

 

Definitions of aflatoxin on the Web:

• a potent carcinogen from the fungus Aspergillus; can be produced and stored for use as a bioweapon
• Aflatoxins are toxic and among the most carcinogenic substances known.[1] After entering the body, aflatoxins are metabolized by the liver to a reactive intermediate,

WOW No wonder they check for this .....
