KANSAS MILO HARVEST 2021 (Grain Sorghum)

[@GregReed1962]

Thank you for our daily Kansas fix. If we weren't in Kentucky helping care for my parents, my wife and I would probably be living near Hillsboro. Lived in Wichita for close to 20 years off and on. Always enjoyed going out to the country for the day.

nice looking milo!

[@farmingbiker]

I enjoy watching how well you guys work together. We have some brother farmers near us that are fighting all the time. Because of the fighting it takes them twice as long to get things done.

I wish I still lived in neb I would come and help y'all I now live in Louisiana

Live in Kansas and we have some bigger farmers around us but I appreciate the old iron

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. The first thing I notice when you combine milo, is the combine head is not very low as with soybeans for example. I do not know a lot about milo, but I assume you just cut the head off the milo stock and the rest is not run through the combine???? Am I right or wrong????! The Peterson team is working hard to beat the rain. Been there done that myself. Those were the days. My compliments to all of you for your teamwork and family gets it done attitude. Very good all. Great that Colby keeps you company during harvest. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. May god watch over all of you. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Yes all we want is the head! Cutting lower puts a ton of residue through the combine

@@petersonfamilyfarm1778 thanks for your reply. Appreciate that.

[@marianbirks6594]

Do you put the cattle on the Milo stalks, it looks like good forage if you are not making silage?

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! Have fun and be safe!

[@samspade4634]

You commented that the grain was a little high moisture, but I imagine if the plants are too dry, you have problems with shatter which I think would be hard to run due to loss am I Right? My background is dairy (Ohio) and milo was not seen in our area. Beans, corn and alfalfa are our main crops and sometimes wheat. Thanks for the video. By the way I have a million questions my passion is agriculture so I'm still trying to learn all I can. Thanks.

What's the molo used for an what do use the molo stubble for cattle feed

[@rodneycody8746]

[@danlowery3235]

Pluggin' away!

[@fireeaters1402]

How many acres do you guys have left

[@austinp8942]

When do y’all start calving?

[@kyleymefford4729]

Do you disc your stubble. I'm thinking of brush hogging mine and no tilling it in beans next spring. You ever tried that?

[@reclinerdriver1489]

Boy howdy from the Republic of Montana ,, where U can be a recliner driver forever LOL ;-}

[@harveystephens6115]

“Dad”, I was going to wallow all over it, get that great smell all over me so I could ride in tractor and your nice truck!!!!! Enjoy watching the channel.

[@flossdaly8274]

City boy here. What is the milo grain used for, and will you go back and cut the stalks for silage?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Livestock feed and ethanol are 2 biggest uses but like corn it is used in lots of products

I grew up on a cattle an wheat ranch dry land wheat soft white weat

[@welwyfm33]

You mix Red Milo variety & White for sale ?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Red and white aren't handled any differently at the elevator, it all gets mixed together.

[@treytenhornung2014]

How come one year you used a corn head for Milo

[@wyattturney3015]

A row crop header for when the Milo heads are blown over onto the ground. It picks it up just like a corn header but it’s a completely different head.

[@treytenhornung2014]

@@wyattturney3015 well I know that my friend farms but I didn't know about the 2 different corn head thanks

[@garybilan1109]

what is Milo

[@garretthurtt6254]

Grain sorghum is what its called. Slang term we always used in the area (Kansas Nebraska....) area always call it milo.

[@louispaparella5766]

Armadillo aka possum on the half shell

[@jaybernieschoep3491]

You guys should tie a log chain on back end of combine let chain drag on the ground prevents static electricity ⚡️ and combine fires

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Already do

[@pamalvestad3848]

I didn't realize armadillos resided in Kansas I always thought they were little more of a southern animal

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Never used to be any!

[@chadsimmons6347]

I almost ran over armadillo going through Kansas City, i thought they were more of a Texas thing

[@austinp8942]

They are everywhere now. In TN we used to not have any until about 5-6 years ago and now there is one ran over bout every mile.

[@randyhome1544]

😀

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

Dogs love armadillo and it smells 🤢 but they will hide those things around the house and eat them for days. We try our best to shoot them and keep them clear of the home farm and the upper barns so we don't walk outside to a dog covered with the smell .Great video I hope we can get close to finished by the end of the month because we sure are behind

[@kevintanner4881]

Never great video guys can you guys like dry Milo through a dryer and store it so you don't get docked

[@joshbutterfass5251]

You need to hire someone just to harvest your crops

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

Well that wouldnt be much fun!
