Forage Sorghum. Viable Crop? Come and See the Crop!
September 18, 2013
5 pm - 7:30 pm
Lowman, NY
This project has allowed us to gain experience with a crop that has not traditionally been grown in the Northeast - sorghum. Sorghum appears to be a reasonable substitute for corn silage offering similar yields, at a lower cost and an equally efficient harvest as a single chop system that can substitute for corn silage with nearly the same nutrition.
