You can put corn in a bin but you have to leave a strip the length of that field if you think you might have a crop insurance claim. The determination on your aflatoxin if you have it will be made from that strip, preferably harvested with combine and a adjuster pulling a sample as you are unloading. This will give you are more accurate sample as opposed to hand sampling. Once it is in the bin aflatoxin can multiply rapidly.
Do not comingle different fields in a bin if you have aflatoxin concerns until you test each field.
Once you have levels above 20 ppb it is a possible insurable loss because of reduction in value of the corn.
