[AT] Planting Milo.

[Gilbert Schwartz]

Ricky; Milo is a product that has a tendency to get hot in the bin/crib. I
think it's mostly because folks push the harvest and put it away wet.
(especially if they don't have much of it)
If I was going to use non certified seed I believe I'd put a sample out in a
measured, preferably warm, seed bed and see what kind of germanation I got.
That won't guarantee the germanation but it'd sure ease your mind if at
least some of it sprouted. I don't know what % germanation certified  seed
has but I'd bet it's not 100%. Problem is, if you don't get a stand, it's
too late.

I am going to plant 20 acres of Milo with my WD45 and AC Drill planter.
Should I use certified seed or the seed you buy for feed?  I used the feed
seed once and had a huge crop that I grazed some sheep on.  What are the
benefits of the certified seed?  I am going to grind it up for my sheep to
eat they won't know it is certified.  Thanks, Ricky
