Atlas Sorghum For Silage Advised By Arkansas Agent
Arkansas county agent Adams cites Atlas Sorgo as a preferred silage sorghum due to ease of planting, drought tolerance, lodging resistance, and syrup yield. University of Arkansas studies and farmer experiences support its suitability, though Atlas and Hegari may be similar in value to corn in some years. Planting should occur after soil warms, in rows, using about an acre per field, with erect soybeans like Arksoy as cover or mixed crop options.
