When you think of crops or forages to grow on your acreage, sorghum probably doesn't come immediately to mind. But if you've had trouble with crop diseases or have a spot where nothing else will grow, you may want to give it a try. Sorghum is easy to grow and produces high yields. It can be used as forage, sold as grain, planted in a wildlife plot, or even made into syrup. In this installment of the Living the Country Life radio program, you'll learn how sorghum is planted and harvested, and how it compares with other forages.
