SORGHUM BICOLOR

Grain Sorghum

Grain Sorghum

Grain sorghum is a warm season, annual forage grass. It can be used for forage production, as a cover crop planting, or planted for wildlife. Sometimes referred to as milo, grain sorghum grows similarly to corn, but produces a seed head on top of the plant rather than ears. Grain sorghum is easier to grow than corn because it tolerates drought conditions very well and doesn�t require the high fertility levels that corn does for normal growth. It will grow about 4-5 feet tall under ideal conditions. Deer and upland gamebirds will consume the mature seed heads as a good energy source.
