A day of sun and a light west wind really dried things up today, some guys were mudding it in today. I get my seeding done by the neighbour, he has a 50 some foot seedhawk, and it takes 6 hours to do the 158 acres. It's not worth the hasslehoff for me to own and repair a drill, and then spend 2 days trying to get the seed in the ground.
I feed the Millet to the Buffalo cows, and the Herd Bulls in the winter. They clean it up really good after i put it thru the bale processor.
The only tips I can really give is don't let it get wet after you cut it, it turns to mush and takes forever to dry. We had 3/4 inch of rain on it one year and it took 2 weeks to dry out, we even flipped it after 8 days.
It works out good generally, its goes In the ground late, cause it can't freeze or its junk, then 60 days later you cut it. The first 30 days you wonder whats wrong with it cause it stays at the 3 leaf stage about 5 inches tall ..then boom it explodes and grows a foot in a week.
I would like to try swath grazing it in the fall or winter, but really scared of what happens to it when it gets wet.
I hope that helps.
I will keep the SE Sask crop report coming in LOL
Don't feed the wildlife fellas...
