[GSBN] Baled Corn/Maize stalks? Kenya?

[Chris Magwood]

Would there be any concerns with the high sugar content in maize? It may 
be a bit more food-like than many types of straw and perhaps a bit more 
sensitive to moisture because of the high sugar? I turned down some 
maize bales here in Ontario quite a few years ago because I had these 
concerns, but then I didn't have the wisdom of this group to let me know 
if I was thinking straight or not!
