MILO HARVEST in Kansas! (Grain Sorghum)

[@Thomasfarmstn]

I’m itching just by watching this videos. And my nose is burning. Thanks I’ll be sick tomorrow!

[@Jim_Austin]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!

[@rodneycody8746]

Nice from goodland

[@sanyukie4652]

Hi! Do you have new video uploads for this year harvesting for milo/sorghum? I heard of severe drought and pricing expect to increase?

[@tarefoot]

So nice to have those power lines to run right across your fields.......not, not, not.

[@sunhawk61]

2" back in September.....you boys are doing better than we are here in Jefferson/Leavenworth county. just over an inch since the end of August.

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

We are at 2 inches total since mid-July so it's very dry.

[@sandraclark1256]

Love the drone footage.

[@sxychoc]

Prayed for rain. I hope you're getting it.

[@glendawente7317]

Your 7720 isn't the oldest combine running yet. I'm still running a 7700,they're good old combines!

[@aussiefarmer6012]

I still use a JD95!

[@randallharmsen5802]

Used to run a J.D. 7700 in the 80’s. Did the job!

[@aussiefarmer6012]

@@randallharmsen5802 my neighbour just purchased a 6600 to leave at home to harvest because he contracts with his new JD and sometimes cannot get home to harvest his crop.

[@pgadams1]

Really enjoyed this video.

[@curthiggins8792]

I always enjoy the informative content of your videos...thanks and congrats on finishing harvest! How do you treat your milo stubble for the next planting? It seems to be pretty heavy for no-till.

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

We leave as is and plant right into it in the spring! It's perfect for no-till.

[@CanfieldFamilyFarm]

We also have a row crop head

[@remigagne450]

Correct me if I'm wrong but when you collect Milo, you seem to cut only the head of the plant, right? Is there a reason? I'm just curious. Like to learn about all kind of cultures.

[@ronsmith1364]

Thanks for Sharing Are you guys the "Swallowtail Jig" folks?

[@michaelbauer9223]

Have you seen many coveys or pheasants this fall?

[@beckyforbes153]

would you guys ever buy that underverth grain cart

[@Ham68229]

I have to ask, around my area in KS, we use draper/flex heads to harvest to Milo/Sorghum, why are you using a corn head? As for rain, you're right, we're dry here too, Douglas county. The crop still looks good for it being a double crop. Cheers :)

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

This is a row head not a corn head. It's used to pick up downed milo which we had quite a bit of this year due to drought.

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@petersonfamilyfarm1778 Charcoal rot?? I had that one year down in SE TX... what a mess... thankfully it was just in a couple of sand spots in one field that were about the size of football fields... but you could tell right to the foot where the soil went from black gumbo clay (that holds water) to blow sand (which does not). The rows would go from standing well to leaning every which way to nearly flat on the ground within about 3 feet down the row... Later! OL J R :)

[@toddschmidt4774]

I'm from Canada farmed for over 20 years never heard sorghum called milo before where did that name come from?

[@crystalpowell293]

We call it milo in USA

[@alwaysinblue]

Praying for rain. We are in a drought in S/W Missouri. Not good.

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! What are the sorgo`s yields?

[@tiger5551]

I love Milo harvest, the only thing I can’t stand is the dust. The dust is terrible to have on your person. If I can remeber we straight combined it with batreal combine and not the corn style headers

[@kaylareu7310]

cool!

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for the great video. One question please, how do you determine if you use the grain head and the corn head in the milo you guys were harvesting?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

It's a row head not a corn head. We cut the downed milo with the row head.

[@danieldzurko8053]

@@petersonfamilyfarm1778 Oh OK thank you for answering so quickly.

[@lukestrawwalker]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJPPgn-HlNppedE Row crop head being demonstrated... They kinda LOOK like a corn head but there's not much similarity... bigger auger, gathering belts that pinch the crop between them below the heads, which pulls the stalks back into a rotary knife underneath that works sorta like a sickle to snip the stalks off... then the belts carry the cut off top parts of the plants back and toss them into the larger cross-auger that moves them to the feederhouse of the combine. They were pretty popular in the 70's and 80's, but you don't see a lot of them anymore, though they certainly have their place-- they're particularly useful in crops like sunflowers, guar, and sesame that are a little more difficult to harvest with regular platform (reel and sickle) headers... They're also used in grain sorghum and soybeans occasionally. Later! OL J R :)

[@danieldzurko8053]

@@lukestrawwalker Thank you for the explanation.

[@codydog1700]

Was that wheat before?

[@angiekhaines9692]

There some Field's around here are not cut on Milo and soybean. Oklahoma

[@rushfr33k-25]

Where are you guys in kansas. I live here and is just wondering.

[@codydog1700]

seeing any pheasants?

[@shirleyreynolds2090]

Y'all save your seed for next crop?

[@EthanStarck]

Do the two corn heads you were using have any kind of modifications for cutting milo? Or can you take them straight from corn into the milo?

[@petersonfamilyfarm1778]

They are not the same heads as corn heads. They are called row heads and we explain them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX2ceGhorpxqjZI

[@gabesullivan9088]

Never herd of milo

[@jeromeellis668]

Enjoy your videos.Jerome Manhattan Ks.

[@davidbromyard674]

Forgive my ignorance but what is Milo and what is it used for?

[@liberalpatriot6650]

Milo is also known as sorghum. Check out Wikipedia for uses. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_sorghum

[@lukestrawwalker]

It's basically used for much the same stuff as corn... In fact the price is basically tied to corn at like 3/5 the price of corn. It's more drought tolerant than corn and cheaper to grow (usually). Later! OL J R :)

Hi

[@tiger5551]

Stepped behind the milo combine and wanted to die the rest of the day
