Why corn is not allowed as bait in Utah

[Kent]

For a couple years, when I was a teenager, chumming was legal in Utah. I remember seeing lots of people chum with corn, in fact I did it some myself. People also chummed with whole cans of dog food (just punch a few holes in the can with a can openner and toss the entire can into the water). Can anyone remember if they banned the use of corn simultaneously with the ban on chumming? It is unfortunate, because corn is an excellent bait for carp and also for kokanee salmon.
