[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5150350, member: 20151"] Sudan Sudex is best cut thigh high as far as being manageable but the timing is way off with the rest of the blend. There is a short milo sudan that has a loose head and a smaller stem. For your purpose to obtain maximum haylage I would keep a grass in the mix but less, a lot less. sudan hybrids in blends should be kept between 1 and 2 pounds per acre. If you cut the sudan 1 to 2 inches above the ground it should regenerate and continue till frost kills it. On the brown millet I fear it will finish before the rest of your blend is at peak nutrient. Timing is important unless you decide its not. Timing is the answer you are looking for. You know the date you want to cut, so build your crop backwards by counting back 75,90 or 110 days and plant that which will work on your schedule. I might also suggest for haylage, drop the sunflowers, use a forage bean, use a short small head milo sudan at 1 to 2 pounds per acre. JMHO [/QUOTE]
