Grain Sorghum

Grain sorghum is a warm season, annual forage grass. It can be used for forage production, as a cover crop planting, or planted for wildlife. Sometimes referred to as milo, grain sorghum grows similarly to corn, but produces a seed head on top of the plant rather than ears. Grain sorghum is easier to grow than corn because it tolerates drought conditions very well and doesn’t require the high fertility levels that corn does for normal growth. It will grow about 3-5 feet tall under ideal conditions. Deer and upland gamebirds will consume the mature seed heads as a good energy source. All of our plants are grown right here on our farm in Hendricks county without any chemical intervention. Seeds saved from plants grown locally will grow and produce better then plants grown in foreign environments with different soil, weather and moisture then what we have here. They also haven't been shipped long distances which can damage seeds. All of the seed that we grow and sell are from non-hybrid heirloom varieties that are all non gmo and open pollinated. All of our seed saving work is done by hand without machines so you will get some plant material and chaff in with the seed. All seed packets have been made from recycled magazines. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.
