Experience Leads South Dakota Farmers to Plant Sorghums
The May 20 1941 Evening Baronite reports that sorghum acreage rose from 30000 in 1920 to 1750000 in 1940 as farmers favor drought and heat tolerant varieties. Early adapted strains resist heat, drought, and hopper damage, with low prussic acid options like Low Prussic Acid 30-30-S. Sudan grass also shows safety in pasture. Extension backs 32 county plots testing 15 to 20 varieties to secure feed supplies for the plains.

Sorghum and Corn Targeted in State College Agronomy Trials
South Dakota State College researchers led by C. J. Franzke report promising sorghum crosses showing potential as dual purpose fodder and grain crops. The work notes that disease and damp off more from soil quality than drought, with 5000 cultures grown last winter to test prior crops, and a large ongoing experimental program to refine varieties and practices.
