coated corn. 

This is exactly what I have been thinking all along. If Gaucho was the
culprit you would expect to see much more severe losses in some areas, like
the corn belt and not in other areas, like here -- where there is very
little agriculture.  Further, if the problem was something as simple as
that, we'd know it by now.
