In 1970 in N.Central Ill. the Corn Crop was devastated by a Blight which caused the Plant to not produce an Ear with Kernals and most Stalks were of inferior quality and not much good for any thing except Silage. We made a lot of Silage that year and by adding Urea [a chemical feed additive],Salt and Minerals we were able to salvage some of the Corn Crop as Cattle feed. We raised 5 acres of Sorghum/Sudax and chopped it,as a quick fix but the resulting crop was so low in needed Nutriants that it was a failure as a feed crop for lactating Dairy Cattle.True this Crop was not of a Variety which produced a Grain Head but it still was of the pure Sorghim Family.It was a Roughage only Crop to us.
