The Sorghum Sudan is looking good now. A one inch rain really greened it up. I plan to strip graze it till its gone. I but 40# N on the first 2 strips grazed to see if I can get a second crop before frost.
I delayed planting fall oats and finally drilled it as deep as possible into the dust. After 10 days in the 90s it caught the same rain and is now up, but I don't expect much tonnage. The birds are really on it.
I am planting winter rye this week. Rye seed is hard to find in my area.
I plan to estimate the yield for each crop. I expect that the cost/lb will be high - - but some of this is part of a renovation rotation. I spray out native bluegrass in late June and then do recreational rock picking for a couple months.
