First week of june But we also had a very cold, wet June and it was slow to grow. It’s starting to catch some height now as we finally have warm weather.

We use some granular and liquid at planting. Then switch to all liquid when it’s growing.

It’s not that. We tried that before with varying results. In our ( and our testing partners) trials , this variety had much better use. Deer here in the U.P. where fall food is limited, did not touch this until October. Mine is just starting to think about forming seed heads, which I think is...

Yes If you can hide plots and hide deer. IMO, I’d rather give up some food in favor of creating security.

I’ve done that method and it works great.

Our Milo is 16,000 seeds per pound. Recommended rate is 60,000 seeds per acre. This is not marked up WGF sorghum, this is a hybrid Milo. They are sending us nutrition tests results but this was the highest protein content they tested. But thanks for looking at it. We highly recommend multi...

He folks Been a while….. Yes, we now sell Milo but here is the thing. We tried the game forage sorghum and they don’t seem to hit it hard up here. We switched to a hybrid Milo and it was a night and day difference. We tested it on farms in Wisconsin up here in the UP as well as Lower Michigan...

I have a screen shot saved from one of their prostaffers dumping IW clover into his spreader. Cloud of blue dust, probably not healthy to breath in. My other thought was, you paid for all that blue dust and now it’s floating away in the air.

But there is a YouTube star who will rant until he’s blue in the face that the pretty orange seed coating is needed.

We did some August plantings in our garden and it got 5 feet tall. But was disappointed with the nodules on the root. Possibly not enough growing time. The winter peas produces more nodules. If spring planting , I’d say mid to late June when the soils really warm up.

Just saw this now. I don’t mix anything with our HD screen, it needs all the nutrients and sun it can get. We did a side by side planting of our HD Screen and another companies Egyptian wheat / sorghum sudan grass . Two snowfalls so far. Our screen is 9 feet the other stuff is 2-3 feet all...

It’s really crappy soil and the peas struggled. I was hoping they would actually make a pea pod and peas. Similar to beans for late season food. Beets are holding their own but again, crappy clay / sand soil. If done in better ground I think it would produce a lot. Not sure on pounds per acre...

12 seems to be the minimum

We have an acre of milo planted in Upper Michigan. We added winter peas and sugar beets at planting. Used dual II magnum as a preemergent and it did great. Planted a month late due to no rain (late June)
