I planted pearl millet on a piece of new ground on May 17. It has rained less than an inch on it since it was planted and it is only about 8 to 10 inches tall. We are in drought here and I will be out of grass in a week if I do not get some heavy rain quick. I am considering turning the cows loose on it when I run out of grass every where else, but I am scared of nitrate poisoning(I only used 200 pounds an acre of 17-17-17 at planting). Anybody have an opinion or experience? I am also considering shutting them up and feeding wheat straw.
