Milo field

[hounddog25]

just thought i would share my milo field with you folks. this is by far the best food plot i have ever had. i may even harvest some of the heads to feed my small chicken flock instead of buying feed for them...if the milo keeps heading out nice like it has started doing this week. i have less than $10 in seed and 3 bags of 10-10-10 fert worth about $30.not bad at all for a nice size field of forage for deer and maybe more.

Looks outstanding. What's the actual dimension of your plot? I have considered raising milo for chicken scratch myself. A common crop 75 miles north and east of us. I'm sure it would do well here as long as we get ample rainfall. Have you raised it in the past? If so, what kind of recovery did you get - pounds per acre/square footage?

my filed is more like a meadow.so all the planting meanders around trees.the deer sue the field much more since i let a few trees grow up.instead of a clean field it is a nice meadow.its more wildlife friendly. i have alfalfa growing under and around trees in clumps too. its less than a acre.this is first for me with milo....soooo..as time goes on i will update how it goes.from what a have found to read a acre a should produce 100 bushels.

Sounds promising. I will have to pursue this further. I know it something that I will have to follow up on next spring. Thanks for posting. Have a karma.
