Been harvesting milo for the past 3-4 days with 9610 and 853A row head. This is my first experience with a row head. Started on a field with many close together terraces so the indoctrination was rather tense. Usually we cut milo with rigid 30' headers, but due to the large amount of lodging this year we have to use the row heads (also using a 9600 with 853A). Lodging is not real common in milo except when the crop is drought stressed or in this case, bug infested. Anyway, it is slow going with lots of lifting and turning in all those terraces. Late starts in the day due to lots of morning dew has cut down on the hours of the day when we can cut. Will try to get some pics to post on here. On the brighter side, milo is yielding very good this year.
