Sorghum As Emergency Forage For Iowa Farmers
Iowa State College expert Clyde McKee notes sorghum makes a dependable emergency hay crop with palatable forage and larger yields than many annual grasses. Plant after soil warm, sow 40 to 70 pounds per acre, drill preferred, or broadcast and cover. Seed costs range 3 to 4 cents per pound, with special strains 7 to 10 cents. Varieties like Harry Amber mature in 90 to 100 days and suit Iowa best. Orange and Sumac yield more but take longer. Not recommended: Kafir Milo Shallu Feterita Kowliang Durras.
