Getting to Know Sorghum

In this presentation from the 2017 Nebraska Sorghum Symposium Dr. Brent Bean, agronomist with the United Sorghum Check-off Program, discusses attributes of sorghum, sorghum growth and development, yield potential, grazing stalks, and key insect predators. He includes a comparison of input costs for sorghum and corn and recommendations for minimizing crop inputs in a low commodity price environment.
The Symposium was held Jan. 25, 2017 at the University of Nebraska West Central Research and Extension Center in North Platte and sponsored by the Nebraska Grain Sorghum Board, the Nebraska Grain Sorghum Producers Association, and Nebraska Extension.

Thank you so much, Dr. Bean. It was really productive. Nice work

Do you recommend any sorghum that would be a good grain and syrup producer?

what the hell is a bushel? why dont your give people the weight: pounds, kilos or tons, instead of the volume (that changes from item to item)? sooo frustrating

[@k94536]

A bushel is an imperial and US customary unit of volume based upon an earlier measure of dry capacity. The old bushel is equal to 2 kennings, 4 pecks, or 8 dry gallons, and was used mostly for agricultural products, such as wheat. thers this thing called search bar above TRY IT NEXT TIME.....

@@k94536 So is a "stone". But do you know how much of weight is a "stone"?? Come on. Let us use something that other people--including those in the US cities can understand. Oh, btw/, the citrus growers sell their products by the "trays". Go figure

@@TWOCOWS1 Come on!!! You can do little search and find out 1 mt = 36.5 Bushels. You need to understand this is United States of America we use difference type of measurements. Do your homework, don’t be lazy.

@@KingSolomon88 Bushel is a volume not weight. It is a weight when one associates it with a given item. Stop being a provincial. There is world out there outside your farmsted, Mr. "King"

[@KingSolomon88]

I am glad now you know that Bushel is for measuring volume. Remember you can convert any type of units to different units ( mass, volume, liquid). If I am not mistaken this’s 4Th grade math. I tried to make it easier for something that, you might have a familiarity such as metric ton (MT).
