It is going to be a good fall!
Looks awesome. Sorghum/Milo is very underrated!

I got my brassicas planted yesterday.
Just for experiment, I seeded about 3lbs of Millet with them in 1
1/4 acre plot.

I'm assuming you're referring to UAN 32-0-0 (Ammonium Nitrate) in liquid form. I think you'd have to keep your application pretty light to prevent leaf burn (less than 20# N / acre?).
A safer bet would be coated Urea or AMS right before a rain to prevent leaf burn. Sorghums/Corn tend to funnel and catch a lot of broadcasted fertilizer.
Drilled my 1.8 acre CRP food plot to Milo this year. First time planting. Checked it tonight and it is extremely weedy with foxtail. But most concerning was no heads on the stalks yet. Drilled late around middle of June.
Anyone know when to expect the heads to come out? If they don’t come out in the next 2-3 weeks, I’ll likely nuke and try to salvage with some rye/clover or something. Thoughts?
And here is where the Milo meets the early successional planting for the quail safe CRP. sunflower, buckwheat, grain sorghum, sun hemp and more.

I’d give it a little time . Is this planted for pheasants or deer ? Both ?Drilled my 1.8 acre CRP food plot to Milo this year. First time planting. Checked it tonight and it is extremely weedy with foxtail. But most concerning was no heads on the stalks yet. Drilled late around middle of June.

It’s planted for both. But we only hunt deer on the property currently.

Patience grasshopper..
You have some healthy looking milo plants in there. You should get some nice heads on those.
FWIW, grasses don't seem to have the yield drag on milo like they do corn.
Your mix is going to create some great fall, winter cover!

Ha! Sure hope you are correct!

Developed into a good stand, happy with the results. Lots of good heads on here, despite the weed pressure. This 4 FT variety headed out over 5 FT easily, going to make the deer work for this food!
Already getting a few nibbles in the section closest to the edge...
Holding the camera over my head - Can see how "messy" a drill is compared to a planter! Areas with good coverage actually have much less weed pressure.
Off to the right is the early successional edge up to the treeline.
Always interesting to me that high quality certified seed always has stray varieties throughout, the occasional 8' plant, or yellow / dough head maturing much later than the others..

Looks awesome - I need to take some current pics of mine. The deer don't know what it is but it crazy the amount of doves and birds in the strips.
In one strip as an experiment I did plant standard rate of grain sorghum, then an ultra light rate of hybrid "screen" sorghum to see how it'd do together and add height to break up line of sight. Been a total success. Again, need to take some current pics, these are from Sept 4th
