Consider milo as feed grain
kii.vvAiu\, Lyn. Milo igram
sorghum) can be a profitable
alternative to corn when fed on the
farm. There is no commercial
demand for it on Delmarva, but
this crop may well have a place on
the Eastern Shore because of its
drought resistance, yield potential
and feed value for hogs, cattle and
poultry, says University of
Delaware extension agent Dave
Woodward.
“If you’re interested, now’s the
time to start thinking about how to
grow a good crop of milo,” he says.
“Try just a few acres the first
year, to see if it fits into your
program.”
Cultural methods for milo are
about the same as for com. Here
are some practices to consider.
Variety Selection “Contact a
local seed dealer to find out what
5-11
3-11
variety does well in this area, or
contact your county extension
agent,” Woodward advises.
Consider bird-resistant varieties
when no other milo is grown
nearby. If none is available, look
for a loose-headed kind so that
birds can’t perch on it.
Seeding Rate The usual rate is
from 8 to 15 pounds per acre. Eight
seeds per foot of row in a 30-inch
row requires about 10 pounds of
seed per acre. Three seeds per foot
of row in 7-inch rows requires
about 15 pounds per acre. If a com
planter is used, special milo seed
plates are needed. Varying a row
width between 7 and 30 inches has
little or no effect on yield.
Seeding Depth Plant shallow,
1 to 1.5 inches deep.
Planting Time Plant when soil
temperature at a 3-inch depth is no

cooler than 60 degrees F at 8 a.m.
This generally occurs about one or
two weeks after normal com
planting time.
Nutritional Requirements
Apply limestone and fertilizer as
for com in your area.
Harvesting Milo is not like
com; it doesn’t die and dry as the
grain matures. Instead, it dries
very slowly and stays green until
frost. When harvest conditions are
wet the heads may mold in
varieties with tight, compact
heads. Therefore, be prepared to
harvest and artificially dry this
crop right after frost. Frost-killed
plants may lodge severely. Don’t
delay harvest; normally this
should start at 25 to 26 percent
moisture. Store grain at 13.5
percent moisture.
Herbicides Woodward
suggests contacting him or other
county extension agents for
recommendations on herbicide
rates, timing and method of ap
plication, and limitations on
materials. Severe injury may
occur from preemergence ap
plication of atrazine at high rates,
and postemergence application of
2-4, D at any rate.
Special Considerations When
feeding milo, grind the grain to a
medium fineness. All milo types
are about equal to corn or barley in
feeding value for cattle and should
not exceed 50 percent of the ration.
Swine performance may be
reduced if bird-resistant varieties
are used.
