New research on sorghum is finding certain varieties can be more beneficial in rations than corn silage.
Private consultant and researcher Thomas Kilcer with Advanced Ag Systems LLC compares gains from male-sterile sorghum to a beef steer.
“It produces yields equal or exceeding corn,” he says.
Kilcer tells Brownfield the crop’s digestibility improves when left in the field six to eight weeks after heading and has higher protein levels.
