SPECIALTY PRODUCTS SORGHUM
LA CROSSE SEED PARTNERSHIP
Legend Seeds is proud to offer a full lineup of grain sorghum, forage sorghum, and sorghum sudangrass. Read below to determine which type of sorghum would best fit your operation: Grain Sorghum can take many shapes, sizes, and various colors. Legend Seeds offers two red and one white grain sorghum varieties. Red sorghum is traditionally grown and used in all segments of the sorghum industry while white sorghum is typically made into flour for the food industry. Sorghum-Sudangrass is a cross between sorghum and sudangrass and is typically used for grazing, haying, and haylage. It is a finer-stemmed, warm season, annual grass that will regrow after each harvest. Sorghum sudangrass can grow up to 15 feet tall and typically has small seed heads with leaves that are similar to corn but are shorter and sometimes wider. Varieties with the BMR gene have significantly improved digestibility and palatability. Forage Sorghum typically grows 8-15 feet tall and is most popular for use as silage for feeding livestock. Depending on which species and variety selected, forage sorghum can be used for grazing pasture, hay production, silage, and green-chop.
