Crop Comments: Crop guru pushes hot climate summer annuals

“Most corn is in the ground. Fields that were weather-caused fallow can still produce a very high-quality forage from sorghum. Sorghum is planted after corn because the soil has to be warmer than for corn for rapid germination. Thus, planting after early winter triticale and haylage harvest gets those jobs out of the way and gives time for the soil to warm.”
