Milo grain for sale near me

Milo is also referred to as grain sorghum. Milo is a very economical summer forage used in a rotation, as an emergency crop or as a wildlife attractant and feed.
Milo should reach 4-5 feet tall and matures in 100 days.

Establishment

The best method for planting sorghums and sorghum-sudangrass is with a grain drill at a depth of 1 to 1½ inches into moist soil.
Plant when soil temperature reaches 60 degrees farenheit. (In the midwest this would generally be the end of May or in June.)

Management

100 day Maturity.
Reaches 4-5 feet tall.
All Sorghums & Sudans can cause Prussic Acid and Nitrate poisoning in livestock. Be sure to test your sorghum sudan products prior to grazing or cutting for prussic acid and nitrate poisoning. Prussic acid often occurs when plants are green, succulent forages as opposed to dried and baled. If there is a high level of prussic acid, cut and cure the crop before baling, as the prussic acid will turn to a gas and leave the plant. If grazing or feeding, delay releasing animals to feed until plants are 20″ tall. **PRUSSIC ACID LEVELS WILL RISE AFTER A FROST OR FREEZING. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO REMOVE ANIMALS FROM PASTURE FOR AT LEAST 7 DAYS TO ALLOW PRUSSIC ACID LEVELS TO DROP TO A SAFE LEVEL. Nitrate poisoning DOES NOT LEAVE THE PLANT and should be dealt with differently than Prussic Acid poisoning. If the Nitrate level is high, delay cutting or grazing the crop. Cut crops in the afternoon instead of the morning, allow for several sunny days of clear weather before cutting and raise your cutting bar. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizer if your levels are up or too high. Crops with high nitrogen can be used to make ensilage with a relatively good margin of safety.

Milo Grain Sorghum Seed

Plant at a rate of 5-6 pounds per acre.

Grain sorghum has a similar feed value to that of corn, with higher protein and fat levels than corn contains, and is highly palatable to livestock. Cracking or rolling the grain before feeding it to cattle improves the portion digested. Pasturing cattle or sheep on sorghum stubble, after the grain has been harvested, is also common, however stubble with secondary growth must be pastured carefully due to the danger of prussic acid poisoning. Grain sorghum may be used as whole-plant silage as well, and will produce a higher protein silage crop if grown with soybeans.
