Im having about 60 acres custom plowed this week to go ahead and plant for summer hay. This land is weak all together. Shallow topsoil pretty clayey, - its never been improved. We haven't really utilized the land in the past but with the droughts in the past I am going to plant something try to get max number of bales. Obviously I don't want just crap hay but the pendulum is swinging towards quantity over quality. I am intersted in the Pearl Millet- no experience w/ it other than what I can find online. I know of all the concerns as far as the nitrates and so forth-
Does anyone have experience with Pearl Millet for hay? and if so which varieties- Leafty 23, etc. If you have another summer annual youd suggest over Pearl Millet, Im welcoming suggestions- Looking for max output with low Nitrogen application- $515/ton for 33-0-0 :shock: no thanks.
