I would need a few more pictures to make any more specific recommendations. If you have a hooded spray rig or a cultivator, that might help.

You plant population looks a touch on the light side.

Remember to spray at least twice for midge at flowering and then 10 days later. Or you wont make any milo.

Good advice

It's thicker in some areas but I ended up messing up the seeding depth and a lot didn't sprout.

I'm just hoping for a small amount of healthy plants to make it through to August and get some seed on the ground.

You mentioned the midge. Do you use the same herbicides for that as well?

From the looks of that picture that what be a sumbitch to run hoods on. Does not seem to be in rows. If you did use hoods I wouldn't use roundup. Maybe paraquat.

shite bro, if a dove plot "plant" yer milo about 10-14 days before Labor Day. Broadcast light cover.

You need at least a few thousand miserble Milo stalks per acre so that you can justify the existence of Milo seed all over the ground. The Government calls this "plausible deniability".

Luckily we are cutting corn around opening weekend every year, or at least have to cut some to check moisture content, seems a bit spills out the grain buggy every time the tire turns over, not sure how that happens.

If you're just checking moisture content on opening weekend, you're a lot further north than I am.

Not normally but it has happened, looks like we will lose it all to the river this year though, might chase it back down with beans if it drops quickly enough.

I don't know if y'all get sugarcane aphids over there or not, but as long as this is just a small hobby patch I'd use imidicloprid if you do. It's cheaper than Transform and effective. Just don't tell anyone that you're using it.
