[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 674442, member: 43"] Millet might be a good choice for you, provided that your tract doesn't stay too wet. My one experience with it, planting millet and Haygrazer in fields side by side, was that the millet definitely doesn't like wet feet -- got an outrageously poor stand as compared to Haygrazer that was planted on the same day. But on that same day my uncle planted millet about a mile away, in rows and on somewhat sandier land, and had outstanding results. (all this being near East Bernard, Tx., which would't be too different than your environment). If cool, wet weather around planting time and early spring growing time is a concern, and it certainly might be in your location in a [u]normal[/u] year, you might want to experiment with smaller tracts of a variety of millets and cane type grasses to see which does best in which conditions.
