Many, many thanks. I was surprised to see the deer have browsed all of my sorghum plots a little. I planted 3 different types of sorghum in 4 small plots. The broom corn variety is the smallest plot and hit the hardest. So it appears that something is browsing mine but not destroying it. It is a good experiment for our family. Our pumpkins and squash are not being hit and they are thriving. Happy hunting.
Hopefully the deer will find those pumpkins in October. I had to smash one open to get their attention, but then they wiped them out in short order. Also, it is worth noting that migrating blackbirds really like sorghum, so unless you see what is actually eating it, you may be misled to think the deer are loving it when it is really just blackbirds. Good luck.
I’m going to have to try sorghum next year. Side note: I’ve been planting small half acre spots with sunflowers for about five years now. Not for deer plots, mostly just for looking at, well and the finches. Deer never really bothered them too much until this year. I have three spots planted which now have 12-18” tall sunflower plant skeletons, completely defoliated the plants. It’s like one deer decided to finally try them this year then called the extended family in to mow them down. Thanks again for the sorghum info Kevin
They can get a taste for something over time. I always thought that the deer liked the ripe heads of sunflowers. I have never tried them but that is what I had heard. I didn't know they ate the plant. I think you will like sorghum as an option.
Planted Sorghum as privacy screen, to block a field from a road, we have a drought but still did the job, grew enough. Posting a short but good video on it later today, before & after.
Be sure if you read this that you realize he is using "forage sorghum". This stuff grows much taller than the grain sorghum I am planting. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks again, bill one another, awesome video. Helpful hints going to try to plant sorghum in the future. We also have trouble with the deer eating our plots before they Up 2 or 3 inches. Sorghum, maybe the ticket. I appreciate all the helpful hints. Thanks a bunch.
Steve, it will definitely work for a while at least - until the deer figure out that the seed heads are really tasty when the seeds are filling in September. If you can get sorghum past that stage (referred to as the dough stage) you will have food all fall. Good luck.
I added some Milo to my plots this year because of your opinion on the deer taking to it late season. I have it in my soybean plot. I plan to spot spray here and there as the Milo is not gly tolerant. I would think a late season plot of sorghum and beans would be tough to beat. Guess we will see.
Sucks to hear about the discounted seed! I was going to incorporate that into my plans next year but maybe not now. Keep us updated how they turn out! Good luck this year Bill
You just need to know how long they have been sitting around. The seed I got from seed dealers was fine. The stuff I got from the conservation groups was questionable. If it has only been on the shelf in a dry area for a year you should be OK. That's the way I will treat it next year. Just use seed I know hasn't been sitting around for several years.
FYI-there’s now a hybrid sorghum, (DT variety) that’s linked to a grass, post-emergent herbicide called First Act. We used it this year for the 1st time, and it looks very good. It’s a crop variety; however, they did underscore its use a food plot milo as well. We’ll see this Fall how the deer/wildlife use it? The weed control option is very nice!
Yes, that is the problem. In my experience, if the sorghum gets a good headstart it will be OK even with a little grass. Problems come when the grass is already started when you plant the sorghum. I will do an update in a couple weeks.
A lot of co-ops will rent drills for around 250-300$ if you can get a neighbor or two to rent it with you it’s pretty cost effective. I drilled a blend that had lots of sorghum in it into native grass, and then after about a week, I bushhoged over the top of the 3” sprouts and it worked really well without spray.
Well I was concerned that I may have planted mine a little too heavy. Now I know I probably did. I used the broadcast and then run over it with the atv tires method. Had great germ. much thicker than you have there. It was my first time planting milo. It was actually feed milo that I planted, we'll see. thanks for the info
I have planted it thick before and it did OK. If you have a good year for moisture and put on a good bit of nitrogen you may be fine this year. Possibly the heads won't produce as much seed per plant because of the competition for nutrients and moisture. I would scale back to the recommended rates (up to 10 pounds per acre) if you do it again. Let us know how it turns out. Good luck.
I have planted this in the past and found the residue in the spring requires more work. It grew well, but the deer didn't seem to touch it...could be that there were soybeans next to it? I like your idea of taping off the boxes to spread out the rows. I have toyed with the idea of having sheet metal template built for our firminator...should be cheap and easy to make for different row spacing. I always enjoy your videos. Cheers and good luck with the plots.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I would say the deer were locked on the beans. If sorghum had been grown separately I think they would have paid more attention to it. Kind of like turnips, I think sorghum is an acquired taste for the deer.
Planted sorghum in late May, had one decent rain the following day, but nothing since. With the strong La Niña, it’s the fourth late spring and summer severe drought again. I’m going to have to figure out another strategy for food. My plots have failed for the last four years, both summer soil building crops as well as fall food plots, all due to drought. I can’t keep wasting my time and money of plots any longer. I think my best bet now is a regen strategy that I’ll begin this winter. I have no options left.
Bill, I'd like to try sorhum next spring. Would the following work? 1. Spray 24d and Glyphosate for burn down 2. Till, spread sorghum, cover seed with drag, cultipack 3. Broadcast red clover and cultipack again 3. Spray with 24d-B to kill weeds once they emerge without killing clover My thought would be that the red clover would choke out the emerging grasses and some of the weeds while filling in spots I missed. Thanks!
There are a couple of possible problems with that approach. I would not spray with 2,4-D before planting clover as it does have a small residual effect unless you do it at least two weeks before planting. Second, I am not sure 2,4-DB is OK sprayed over standing sorghum. It probably is, but I would guess that it will set the sorghum back. I would rather just let things go without a further herbicide application or I would skip the clover then you can spray with dicamba herbicide to kill any broadleaf weeds later without effecting the sorghum. Good luck.
Grain Sorghum, Milo, or WGF (Wild Game Food) looks to all be the same thing. I hadn't ever tried WGF until a few years ago but WGF is relatively inexpensive and can easily be broadcast and cultipacked or lightly disked in. The left over residue seems to help build the soil also. Be sure to do a followup video later on in the summer!!
I don't know anything about the WGF but yes, milo and sorghum are the same thing. I will follow-up later in the summer. My main issue with sorghum is the fact that I am not aware of a good way to remove grass that comes up after the sorghum/milo comes out of the ground. Since the crop is in the grass family, anything that removes grass (herbicides) will kill the sorghum and to my knowledge there are no "glyphosate tolerant" sorghum/milo varieties. I am sure the big farmers in the great plains where sorghum is a very common crop have this down pat, but for the small food plotter, the weed control is the main challenge. Good luck.
Yes, the grass is the problem. To combat, I try to spray the area to kill everything off right at the time I plant so that the sorghum has a jump start on the weeds. That usually is enough to get it up and competing. I have read that sorghum needs about three weeks without heavy weed competition and then it can more or less fend for itself. That has worked for me in the past. Good luck.
Yes. I do think so. And I think if you planted it on 30 inch rows you could easily seed other crops into the same plot, such as beans in the spring and brassicas in the summer.
@bill-winke that's a pretty creative idea Bill! Getting some late beans in this weekend on the new farm and if they all get eaten I figure I'll have a clean slate for fall plots.
It has worked here on this farm. This year will be another good test with a different variety of sorghum that promises to be even more attractive to the deer. Good luck.
You think about broadcasting over it with, wh oats, wh pure attraction, or winter peas?? Red clover? This is very interesting video. Just watched the one from huntstand
Travis, I do think that would work. I also think that if you planted the sorghum into a plot that you also drilled (or broadcast) to soybeans would work. Just keep the sorghum on 30 inch rows then. The plant doesn't get tall enough to block all the sun the way corn does, so it could work well for double cropping. I will play with that next year. But this year, I did plant 600 pumpkins into my sorghum plots with the hopes that they will find enough sunlight to do well within those plots. I will update on whether this worked later this summer. But yes, I think double cropping would work well with sorghum if done in the right way. Good luck.
I suppose it depends on your goals. If you want bedding, then the grass is fine, but if you want a food source primarily, you should try to spray to wipe out all the competition right before you plant so the sorghum has the best possible head start. If you want to save it now, you will need to find some kind of system to weed between the rows - kind of like a narrow garden tiller. Otherwise, there is no good solution that I know of. Good luck.
I have wasted way to much money on Soybean and Cowpea. My deer just won't let me grow them at all. Sorghum is a good seed for Whitetail Institute to pick up. I really like it as a edge planting for plots, its a decent screen from a deer's height, and it makes fall food, that I don't get from many screening plants like switchgrass.
I agree. I have planted hundreds of acres of sorghum over the years. On one farm I co-owned in the late 90s I planted 300 acres one year! Half was grain sorghum and half forage sorghum (the tall stuff). The deer density was really high there and they wiped out the grain sorghum in September and October and then started on the forage sorghum by actually reaching up and breaking the stalk off with their mouths! I used a six row planted and put three hoppers into grain and three into forage and then went back and forth so there were six rows of grain next to six rows of forage. It worked really well and made a perfect field for sneaking in and out. With a little wind, I could walk right past the deer by using the middle of the forage sorghum rows. That farm was quite an education when it came to deer! Good luck.
The deer have to figure out what it is if they haven't seen it before, but the deer here definitely ate it in November through December until it was gone. They did seem to favor it over corn here. The grain sorghum grows about mid-chest high (the seed head is on top) and forage sorghum grows about 8 or 9 feet high (seed head on the top). So you definitely want to make sure you are getting grain sorghum and not forage sorghum. It takes roughly the same fertilizer as corn. Good luck.
That has been my experience also. The deer won't touch it during the summer. I have seen issues in really high densities where they wiped out the seed heads in late September when the seeds started to form and get "doughy". To combat that, I would also plant forage sorghum along with the grain sorghum so the deer couldn't easily reach it and the heads (though not as big as the grain forage heads) made it through until later in the season. Interesting challenge when dealing with high deer numbers. Have a great day.
@@bill-winke one year i had a complete failure of my spring planting so i drilled sorghum sudan in late June. It got 7 ft tall and deer bedded in it and stood on hind legs to eat the seeds. Being from north Africa, this stuff can deal with the heat. You can drill it deep to get to moisture.
Nic, that is the 8 foot (G8 from PH Outdoors): www.ph-outdoors.com/g-series-no-till-drill-1 They also make other sizes. I think they still sell a "tow kit" that would allow you to pull a five foot drill with a small tractor rather than lifting it with the three-point hitch. I have an 80 hp tractor (JD 5085E). With the loader it is front-heavy enough to carry the eight foot drill full of seed up the slope on this farm. I have run the 8 footer on smaller tractors, but you often have to use the brakes to help "steer" the tractor when the front end gets light. With a smaller tractor, you can also either put on front weights or fill the bucket with dirt first (if it has a loader) to keep the front down. Have a great day.
I have seen people broadcast corn into standing rye. Roll or cultipack the rye over the corn and spray. Corn is tough crop and it doesn’t usually work very well but I wonder if sorghum would work better using this poor man no till approach?
Rich, it might work better because the sorghum seed is smaller than corn so it is easier to get good seed to soil contact and germination. But anytime you just put a seed on top of the ground you need the right conditions for that work - even really small seeds like clover and turnips need good rains to germinate when thrown on top of the ground. It is definitely worth a try, but it would work better if you are able to till up the ground even a little bit to get the seed embedded slightly. Good luck.
Must be nice .. not work and make money from youtube to pay for everything.. this is nothing..i could do better!!public hunter who knows how to hunt much better than someone who has all that land to himself!! Not impressed

When’s the latest you would plant sorghum in west central Illinois mainly hunted late November through December
I don't think I would go past about June 10th, roughly. It is definitely too late now. The plants won't make seed before the first frost.
With deer not being interested in eating it while growing I wonder if it would do well in smaller plots.
Yes. I do think so. And I think if you planted it on 30 inch rows you could easily seed other crops into the same plot, such as beans in the spring and brassicas in the summer.
