Milo is looking pretty good

as are most spring crops of soybeans, corn, and even a few sunflowers here in central Kansas, all due to above average rainfall this year. The second pic is same field taken 6-15-09.

This is not "milo country", so I'll ask- What do you think that crop will yield? Do you sell it, or use it for feed?
 
I wish ANYTHING would look like that here in the Northeast. There are very few fields of grain corn or soybeans that don't have low spots that are completely dead from too much rain. Grain corn is at three different growth stages on some fields. I don't know how these guys are going to harvest it with any sort of moisture level around the same stage throughout the fields.
 
Hi Mike,
Both. Lot's of milo here is also going into ethanol. Milo has approximately same feed value as corn, just a little less of some components. Heck, I'm hoping for 100 bu. per acre, but then I'm kinda optimistic. Lots of milo in this area will go about that this year, I'm guessing, if nothing happens. Just two days ago during a thunderstorm it started dropping some nickel sized hail and I kinda held my breath for awhile but it quit before any apparent damage, although two miles east of me you could definitely see soybean pods and leaves laying on the ground.
 
gotta keep them terraces in order, too many guys plow them flat leaving water holes, washes etc. You can tell a good farmer when you see him out with his moleboard every year plowing up his terraces and then disking WITH them instead of over them. It costs too much to have them rebuilt to just run over them.
