Dixon Springs Hybrid Sorghums Show Promise Over Corn
Experiments at the Dixon Springs Experiment Station indicate hybrid grain sorghums outperform corn in late planting and in wet or dry years. Top yielders include RS 610 and DeKalb D 50a with DeKalb D50a noted for its open-type head. Sorghum grain offers higher protein, similar maturity, and good livestock feed with cracking or grinding. Lamb feeding shows sorghum concentrate matches corn in gains, though prime lambs favored corn. Silage yields nearly match corn and can provide similar gains in wintering cattle. Plant spacing and culture details follow.

Sorghum Planting Rates and Tips for Warm-Season Cornlike Crop
Guidance notes plant spacing of inch rows yielding higher results than 6 9 and 12 inch rows. Suggest six to eight seeds per foot and about seven pounds per acre for large seed hybrids. Warn germination poor in cold soils and seed 1 to 1 4 inches deep. Cultivation and fertilizer needs resemble corn but sorghum less responsive to nitrogen.

He cites U of S tests with May 4 to June 28 plantings yielding 112 to 89 bushels per acre and notes no major yield difference between May 3 and May 27.
