[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1500068, member: 1715"] SS is a marginal one cut crop in central Minnesota. You can grow corn up into Canada... Corn can yield twice as much tonnage as SS here, but it requires more fertility and more moisture. There are many kinds of sorghum and sorghum crosses if you dig into it. SS shines in a complex full season cover crop mix, where its root mass allows it to compete better than corn. The way you make money on complex cover crops here is to use some bin run in the seed mix, double crop it after some cool season stuff, and harvest the forage with cattle after cool season stuff stops growing - - while doing some soil building for next year. Annual forages can net more dollars per acre than perennials if you have the management, the drainage and the fertility. Sell the baler if you need more cattle. Green cover crop seeds is a great lead. [/QUOTE]
