Sorghum

If you are looking for a high quality grain that is easier to plant than corn then Sorghum may be the answer. Wild game food sorghum is an early maturing sorghum reaching mid-bloom at about 40-50 days after emergence. It is bird-resistant which keeps migrating flocks of blackbirds from stripping it in late summer. A mature plant will be 26-30" tall with seed becoming marginally palatable at maturity. As it stands in the weather, it loses tannic acid and becomes more palatable through the fall. This sorghum makes excellent seed for Deer in fall and winter.
