Premium Red Milo

The Best Alternative To Corn For Food Plots.

Tired of corn plots getting wiped out before maturity?

Want a grain plot that uses less fertilizer and handles drought better than corn?

Our Red Milo establishes quickly, matures in 80–90 days, and produces large grain heads that pheasants, quail, doves, deer, and other wildlife key in on late season.

Unlike corn, deer typically leave the stalks alone early, allowing the grain heads to fully mature and create dependable late season food and cover for wildlife.

Not all milo is the same. Our Red Milo produces larger seed heads, stronger structure, and is safened for improved weed control.

Red Milo is a warm season annual grain sorghum built for heat, drought, and dependable late-season attraction. It produces a large, red seed head that stands strong into fall and winter, drawing deer, doves, turkeys, pheasants, quail, and more once the grain fully matures.

This variety is safened for improved weed control, allowing for clean fields and strong early growth. Deer typically won’t hammer it early, they key in once heads harden and sugars develop, making it an excellent late season draw.

If you're looking for a strong corn alternative, Red Milo is one of the best replacements available, and in many dry conditions, it may outperform corn.

When To Plant Red Milo?

Plant Red Milo once soil temperatures reach 60°F or warmer. Most plantings occur from May through June, but Red Milo’s short days to maturity allow it to still be planted into July in many areas.
