Is vomatoxin in corn becoming an issue?

I am hearing that the end users are concerned about the amount of corn with high levels of vomatoxin.  Is this a widespread issue or just local?  What is the cause of the problem this year?  Weather or is there corn genetic problems?

Lots of concern about feed levels with pig farmers.

I believe there is an issue but it is being over-hyped as a means to sell more feed and feed additives
