A lot more was grown in Nebraska in the past than there is now. In fact, when I was farming in the 1980's, I rotated soybeans and milo like farmers rotate soybeans and corn now. Corn took over from milo when prices went up.
I always enjoyed growing milo, although it was itchy stuff to combine. And, unlike corn, if you got a dry spell, milo would go semi dormant and then wake up again when it rained. One summer my father had a field of milo west of my house that was about half headed out but hadn't done much for a couple of weeks because of dry weather. We had a two inch rain one night, and from the time I left for work the next morning until I got home in the evening, that field almost completely finished heading out.
Farmers hereabouts still grow some in corners of fields that are center-pivot irrigated. It's shorter and doesn't cause blind intersections like corn does. It's used mostly for cattle feed, although some years ago someone here in Nebraska tried to make breakfast cereal out of it. Didn't catch on.
