Martinsville, Ohio | Yes, I have Mike and it really didn't respond. I think the big thing is it has been bred to be a dryland crop and I don't think it responds to irrigation. If anyone can explain this to me I will listen. Surely it is irrigated somewhere in the world but not in the states that I know of unless it is in a desert.
Milo could easily make 200 bu, it has great potential. Maybe it will reach its potential with the ethanol boom and the changing climate.
I remember notilling beans and corn into a friends milo stubble and it was some of the nicest mulch I ever notilled into. I would have loved to see what it would do here this year, our weather conditions were ideal, guess I should have planted some. Who would have guessed.
Milo is something you just don't see in Ohio, kinda like crimson clover.
Maybe we need more of both...
