Sure doesn't look like you planted it very thick. Fenceman said planting 50 lbs to the acre makes the stems and leaf thinner and he's right.AZAggie":1lx7u56y said:

This sorghum Sudan was broadcast seeded at 60lbs/acre and a cult I packed ran over it May 28.
I put 100lbs/acre 32-0-0 fertilizer on it June 2nd and it received its first good rain a couple days ago.

Due to get some rain here the next few days. I'm hoping it makes 30-40 inches around the next dry spell. If there's one thing I've learned about cutting sudan or millet for hay it's that anytime it's dry and close to 30" cut it.
We have had millet go from 3 to 5ft tall and have stalks bigger than corn when you get a couple weeks of wet weather. Makes baling it a nightmare.
That looks really good. Mine still likes a while until it is ready to bale. At least a couple of weeks, which is good because I'm going to be gone all next week and possibly part of the week after. My son is graduating from Combat Medic training in San Antonio next week and we may have to drive him to Kentucky for his next post.kentuckyguy":2nmokpa3 said:
Here's a pic of the BMR sorghum sudan this morning. We have had a lot of rain. It's 29" tall right now. I'm hoping to cut it and the end of the week during a 4-5 day dry spell. I'm afraid if I try to let it grow 8-10 more inches I'll get bit by a wet spell and have corn stalks.
With all this rain it's growing almost a foot a week.
