Texas/New Mexico Stateline | Lots and lots of forage sorghums of all kinds put up out here. Most of it is baled, a little is chopped and put up for silage. Few guys are starting to chop it and feed it on an as needed basis.
Biggest trouble where you are at is getting it to dry enough to bale. We don't usually have that problem out here in the Great American Desert. Run the conditioners tight to smash the stems good helps. Thicker planting will also help make the stems smaller. I plant about 7 lbs seed to the acre in 12 inch rows with a drill, others plant up to 30# under irrigation. |
Good forage crop to go in after wheat? East Central KS.
