[QUOTE="PuG, post: 6580723, member: 55620"] Sorghum needs warm soil temperatures, long hot sunny days, doesn't like being in the shade at all. Mine took about three weeks to come up and a good month hovering about 12", then accelerated, done three cuts 4 - 6ft high average. The silage which I'm feeding now from earlier in the year is beautiful. Just terminating it now for over winter cover. Be careful grazing, wait until its a decent height from the prussic acid point of a view and if your not sure cut it for hay or silage and feed it back to them. Farmer near here lost five cows to it a few years back by escaping into a field with allot of fresh growth. Next year im doing Pearl Millet, Sorghum x Sudan hybrid (which I did this year, and compared to a local Pipper preformed much better and fleshy growth) and im going to try a Sorghum Forage mono cut some like 140 day maturity? one field of Sorghum grain but suits our land and climate. I'm only just starting to experiment, thats a few on the forums who knows heck of a allot more about it. (Farmer Roy!) Cut last week [ATTACH type="full"]836386[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
