[QUOTE="ERNIBIGB, post: 1492030, member: 3253"] Sugar cane aphids hit all the "sudex" type grasses and grain sorghum really bad around here last year. Don't know if that is an issue there yet but probably will be eventually. Millet may not be as susceptible to them but I don't know much about them. Between army worms and now the aphids some of these summer annuals are going to be hard to justify planting around here.Most folks here that do plant them are choosing to wrap in plastic which is good for me because I do most of the wrapping in the immediate area. My best advice for trying to bale it dry is to cut it early (36 -40") and leave 4 to 6 inches of stubble for faster regrowth. I have cut millet 3 times in 90 days. [/QUOTE]
