I can imagine, if you have goats, pigs or cattle, they would eat those stalks.Looks like it greatly resembles a corn stalk and many farmers feed that silage to their animals.
I'm growing Martin Milo for the first time this year. They are turning quite orange now so it'll be ready to harvest before too long. I'm trying to harvest is early enough that I can get a second crop off of it later in the fall.
Enjoyed your video and information. Subscribed to the channel. Look forward to seeing more. Praying for your strength, health, safety and success. 🐕☝️🙏🙌💪🤠🎯
Watching from North Alabama. Just harvesting it for the first time 😊 it's white sorghum, got it out of a bag for consumption (grocery store product) just to see how it worked as a cover crop-ish. Well, 😮 WHOA! It did great, so I need help on the harvest side! So, wondering, if I want to eat it, how long should it dry to be ready? Thanks!
I would let it dry until it is easy the thresh the seeds from the head. I would think that when it threshes easy it would be dry enough to eat. I've never tried eating or grinding any of mine so that is just a guess. Thanks for watching.
I'm sure that mice could probably get it if they wanted to. My biggest problem is birds getting it over a long period of time. If the sorghum was stored in an enclosed area it would be better. Thanks for watching.
Honestly I'm not sure. If I had harvested all of the sorghum I had grown, I probably would have had somewhere around a bushel of threshed grain. I didn't harvest it all so that is just a guess. Thanks for watching.
I only have experience with the type of sorghum that I grow and don't know about black sorghum. It may be similar but I've just never grown it or seen it. Thanks for watching.
I usually give my chickens three or four seed heads every other day or so. They like the sorghum but much prefer the cracked corn that I feed them every day. Thanks for watching.
