[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1657158, member: 1715"] SS does not do so well in the north due to cool nights. Corn will consistently out yield it. U of MN has some multi year data out there comparing corn, SS, and pearl millet. SS is cheaper to plant, so you will want to run some $/lb DM utilized numbers. A huuuge grazing issue is utilization - - which can range from 20% to 70% due to maturity and deer damage and stalk breakage. A forage chain that works consistently here is to take one grazing or cutting off, burn down, then planting the warm season (mix), grazing it green dairy style during late August and Sept at about 50 to 70 days after planting, before deer get on it and while stockpiling perennial grasses. I don't think 365 grazing is practical most years in snow country. For those who like to plant, the forage chain above positions you well for: seeding rye in late September, or seeding a grain crop, or reseeding perennials, early the following spring. [/QUOTE]
