Do you guys have enough growing season to come back in to the barley ground with some millet or sorghum for fall grazing or do you usually run out of moisture like here. Here if we make oat hay, it's a 50/50 chance that there's enough rain to get it to grow. Usually it's the 50% of the time that you don't try it...then it rains enough that it would have gotten it to grow and have a chance.

We have seen the same thing as lacockcattle. We haven't grown corn here yet but neighbours tests come back the same.

Need to feed ddgs with corn silage to up the protien. Barley silage has enough protien for us so it's nice.

8-10 tonne barley silage and maybe 12-15 tonne for corn silage is a typical yield around here.


Some of this depends on exactly where jd1 is at.
Some area so Saskatchabush get more rain than others.
Dunno if he's in the higher rainfall area.
It more likely that there won't be enough time after the barley silage cut to grow much.
I'm assuming silage cut say July 15 to 30th he's got likely some 40 to 50 days to first kill frost.
But maybe he'll chime in - - - dunno.
