Subject: Millet hay for silage?


How does millet hay work out for silage?? We call it Hershey here. Or the old Germans used to anyway. I don’t have a ton of experience with it but guys seams to love it as dry hay. I’m kinda wanting to have something we can chop in august so it doesn’t overlap with corn silage in September and wheat drilling. We get 10ish inches of rain a year, all dryland. Drought stress is an issue always hence the desire to chop and ensile it. Assuming dryland would make a ton per acre for dry hay and 2.5ish wet tons an acre. We did try sorghum and that was a joke. Made around 6.5% protein and the energy was less than CRP hay. Not doing that again. Would like your opinion on the millet. Thank you
