Anyone can harvest it, very few want to store it. Last neighbors put up was just a bit damp, stuck a foot thick to the walls. That cured them of it. If I were to grow any, I would rebuild a grain Harvestore and put it up wet to feed steers on. Small limited market here anymore, and a pretty good bias against corn.

Cutting good milo is a lot of fun. I like it even better if the air conditioner doesn't quit or the combine doesn't break down.

This last year was my first experience with milo. I learned that the best place to be is in the grain cart. Don't have to adjust the dusty combine, and don't have to dump trucks. The next best place to be is in the truck if you have someone else doing the dumping  Everything everyone says about milo being itchy is true. I don't seem to be as affected by it as some people, but my eyes get a little bothered. If I had to be around it every day all day, I think a good full-face respirator might be on the wish list. Milo could be worse I 'spose, could NOT be harvesting anything at all. |

I don't think there is such a thing as good milo.I quit it several years ago after severe eye infection that took 2 years to whip.
I did learn that the best milo chemical is glyphosate!
