Yes. I usually tie the header up rigid to cut my milo (JD922 on a 9500). This year the milo is very tall so I am going to try it with it untied. I'm thinking the "hump" may help keep it in the header. I am also still doing beans and will stop and cut the milo when I have help available so that would make the switch easier.
I always keep some for feed but like was mentioned, find an elevator to take it. The two towns close to me are more than willing but if there is a large crop of corn or beans they sometimes don't have the room. Get trucks lined up - yields here can go 100 BPA and that means a lot of trucking! We don't have stellar ground, either. I'd imagine if you had rock star soil you could really get a yield. Put out the word. The protein on it is about what corn is so there may be folks that would buy a gravity wagon full from the field.
I grew up with it in the crop rotation. I have never considered it odd but I am one of just a couple that plant it in the area. It's a little tough to time it. You can't plant it too early or you have immature suckers throwing off your moisture count, and can't plant it too late or it isn't mature at frost.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
