I am ready to cultivate the milo and have two cultivators(both given to me) One is a spring shank with 4 inch sweeps and the other is set up with break away type feet but narrow cutting areas. My inclination is that since the milo is small to use the narrow cultivator set to stay away from the crop. Tell me what you suggest. Thanks

Hey guys, What is milo? It is obviously a southern crop or a term that I have never heard.

Just a curious Canadian.

Thanks Super Hank I know what sorghum is. Just never heard it called milo. We planted it one year as a filler for pasture when it got to dry for the pastures. We didn't row crop it though, we planted it with a seed drill. We also didn't chop it, we cut some with the hay bine and round baled it then wrapped it for a while. That was alot of bother though so we basically just let the cows in and they pastured in there.

It gets really tall! I got to be quite a chore to get the cows and our dog wouldn't go in after them.

Good talking to you.

#1, u dont say how high the milo is. #2 u dont say what your plowing it with. (Plowing is the midwest turm for cultivating, WQe know were not talking about a real plow. Guess its used to weed out the impostors) lol. Ayway, id set the schovels to be around 6/8in from center of row, with no wide sweeps on the sides of the schovel. Keep that distance from the edge of the schovel on one side of the row to the edge of the schovel on the other side/ If you find you can do that easily without taking out one or the other rows, you can reeadjust them narrorer. Using a 1934 CC Case, thats about the best I can do, and ive bein dooing it for many MANY years. Good luck. Make sure your breakes are in good shape. Dont turn with the schovels n the dirt. Itall bend them. somtimes, and theyre hard to find. Go slow, as fast as possible. lol. When your doin it youllunderstand. Generall watch only one row, generally the right one, and trust in the Lord for the other

I appreciate your advice, this row croping is new to me but fun. I have a 53 Super H but it is not running well so I'll be using a 240 Massey (I'll be wearing a bag over my head out of shame)until the Super H is fixed. I spend a fair amount of time every fall in North Kansas (Phillipsburg)chasing quail and pheasant and looking at my dogs rear ends. I hope to get to Okla. this year for quail and ducks if the invitation comes through. I may be in the minority but I love that country and would live there is my wife agreed. I appreciate your help. It may not be true in the part of Georgia where my farm is, but if you can find cut milo in Kansas before the cows are let in, there will be a bird or two to chase... almost guaranteed. I hope it works down south.
