The generic metolachlor seems to be working well. If it's in wheat stubble you probably won't have too much problem, but Les is right, grass will absolutely kill milo yields. $10 worth of generic can save a couple of hundred dollars of yield. Also, JohnKS brought up whether you want to plant or drill your milo. I like to drill the upland, mainly because I can use a shorter season hybrid like a Pioneer 87G57, but plant it a little thicker. It makes better use of available moisture and reaches canopy more quickly. In the flats and bottoms 30" rows work better because it's more likely to set a bigger head and has a better chance of falling over. A $2500 row head will pay for itself in short order with these kind of milo prices.
