An Illinois farmer is among the winners of the 2022 National Sorghum Producers yield contest.
Allen Walters of Marshall in Clark County tells Brownfield sorghum (also known as milo or millet) isn’t grown much in Illinois since corn, soybeans and wheat compete for the ground, but he started planting it a few years ago in fields next to a park that is heavily populated with deer.
