nice sorghum man, ausis are doing better sorghum than americans do... im from germany and planted some sorghum too this year, but harvested it for silage. how many tons do you get from grain sorghum? maybe we can get it for grain next year too... greetings from thuringia state

It depends where u are and the crop averages vary alot due to how it is planted and growing conditions, This particular crop was a result of excellent growing conditions and is in one of the best growing areas in the world. This crop averaged between 10 - 12 tonnes per hectare, and at times the harvest monitor showed 14 tonnes per hectare, the destination of this sorghum made its way to feedlots and chicken farms.

Cheers

wow thats a lot! i guess you do dryfarming, or do you irrigate? during the growing season our sorghum can get about 10 inches rainfall. all i can say is that you ausis do a great job and you can handle bad conditions very well! cheers
