But with expertise from the WinField United team, you can easily find the right forage sorghum seed and genetics for your fields. We’ll deliver the best nutrition and high sorghum plant digestibility insights to help optimize tonnage and quality from planting to harvest.
SEED SELECTION FOR MAXIMIZING YIELD
These are the factors to consider:
- Finding the correct plant maturity
- Growing season length
- Elevation
- Scheduling
- Crop rotation
Knowing the limits and potentials of each acre also makes a difference. Consider traditional weather patterns and average first frost date:
- Early – 60 days (or earlier to mid bloom)
- Medium/Early – 61-65 days
- Medium – 66-70 days
- Medium/Late – 71-75 days
- Late – 76 days (or longer)
SOIL FERTILITY
Recommended to conduct regular soil sampling to determine the soil fertility levels of fields as a fertility planning tool. Sorghum for grain will require roughly 2 lbs. of actual N for every 100 lbs. of grain yield expected (example: 8,000 lb. yield will need to have 160 lbs. of actual Nitrogen).
