South Texas
I would think a lot of traditional milo growing areas will cut back due to the sugar cane aphid, maybe yall in the promised land can grow it and fill in the gap. I still have a cough from blowing out the sieves twice a day.

Been thinking, non-gmo corn should be like growing milo, besides that corn usually yields less here. Say I could find some corn hybrids that yield as well as milo, it would need to cost $110/bag. Unless you figure in spraying transform once then the budget goes up to $145 if not figuring any application costs, so throw those in and it gets to about $170. Spray transform twice and it goes up to $230, enough to buy full traited corn. But then you're rolling the dice on aflatoxin.
