SORGHUM BICOLOR

Dwarf Grain Sorghum

Dwarf Grain Sorghum

Dwarf grain sorghum is a warm season, annual forage grass. It can be used for forage production or planted as a wildlife crop. Sometimes referred to as milo, grain sorghum grows similarly to corn but produces a seed head on top of the plant rather than ears. Dwarf grain sorghum is easier to grow than corn because it tolerates drought conditions very well and doesnt require the high fertility levels that corn does for normal growth. It will grow about 3-4 feet tall. Deer and upland gamebirds will consume the mature seed heads as a good energy source. This product is treated; do not use for food, feed, or oil purposes.
