[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1462042, member: 27848"] Update on the peas and Jumbo Rye. With little to no rain, they are coming right along. Germination is getting on up in the 80-90% with the late comers showing up. Peas up around 2" and Rye about 4 for the early bloomers. On the Milo vs Haygrazer (sudan-sorghum), one of the reasons I am still on track to go with plain old feed Milo for seed, is the Sugar Cane Aphid. As mentioned earlier I was attacked again trying to grow SS early in the summer on my first cutting regrowth and the guy growing Milo right up the road had no aphids in the regrowth that I baled and in the regrowth that has occurred after that. Being a cause and effect guy, got me as to why or what mechanism makes the difference. We'll see. If you never had them, and we didn't till 2014, you don't want them. Kill the plant and make a gooey mess of the leaves.....spread like wildfire when they hit. Reports of folks that tried to bale what was left after they hit said that the goo (aphid secretions) gummed up their haying equipment. Can't imagine something wanting to eat that mess. [/QUOTE]
