I planted some milo this year because it was so wet I didn't get anything out until too late for alfalfa. I want to switch to alfalfa when I can.
Should I wait until next spring?
What do I need to do when I switch? Brush hog any remaining milo stalks and then disk? If I do it in the spring can I spray it for weeds during the summer?
Will I need to be concerned about any volunteer milo popping up?
I did 2 1/2 acres of Whitetail Institute PowerPlant and 4 acres of milo. Also did a few small patches that I'll put in turnips this fall. I'll do some clover and chicory this fall (another field of 2 1/2 acres) and the alfalfa (in the 4 acre milo field) when the time is right. This was my first try at food plots and it was frustrating due to the rain and fun as well. The price of fuel, feed and fertilizer tended to take some of the fun out of it.
