We hadn't raised millet in years but decided to put some in after some dryland corn was totaled out by hail. In the past we had it custom swathed and picked up but decided to direct cut it since we could do it ourselves. Only a couple places take it that are close to us and it couldn't be over 12.5 moisture. At that moisture it starts dropping seed like crazy and figure we probably lost 20 bushels to the acre by direct cutting it.
