Frost damaged sorghums advis ed for Polk county farmers
Polk County agricultural guidance urges cutting frost damaged forage sorghums now to conserve roughage as frost does not alter forage quality but can cause dry loss through shattering. Light frosts may still risk prussic acid poisoning if not dried in the bundle. Second growth sorghums remain poisonous until thoroughly killed by frost. Grain sorghums may be left standing to gauge injury or cut if ripe.
