[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1652468, member: 1715"] Double crop: - Our soil is not warm enough for seeding warm season - - SS or pearl millet - - until some time in June, and cool season stuff is still growing well, so no rush. Triple crop: - SS is usually a one and done harvest here since our nights get cool after mid August, so you can run the drill thru it again (after grazing) with a cool season mix, if you have moisture and really like to plant. * Hard to make CC profitable unless you graze it. Hard to get much grazing utilization unless you are planful with seed mix design and planting date(s). One thing I have noticed is you get much higher grazing utilization with standard SS if you do not let it grow > 50 days and get stemmy. Then when the remaining part of the stems are killed by the frost - - cattle are willing to graze them again. Sweeter? Tender? [/QUOTE]
