For me, the cost of chemical and fertilizer are just about the same for corn or milo. The seed cost is cheaper for milo than corn, and currantly the milo price is higher than corn. Plus, it has been a lot easier for me to grow 100 bu milo than 100 bu corn. I do like corn, as it is easy to get back into wheat, and comes off earlier than milo, and hence doesnt use up as much moisture if going back to wheat. Now, we are going to spray for aphids for the first time in milo, so that is an added expense that I havent had in the past.
