The most common use of sorghum is as a sweetener. The juice is squeezed and cooked down to make a type of molasses. Many people prefer its flavor to that made from cane sugar. Sorghum, though, doesn't grow well in hot climates, and so is grown farther north, and sugar cane is grown in semi-tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Close to two-thirds of the sorghum grown in the United States is used as livestock feed.
Yes. Sorghum production is concentrated in areas where the rainfall is insufficient and the temperatures are too high for profitable corn production. Thus most of the domestic sorghum acreage is in the southern Great Plains states, with Texas, Kansas and Nebraska the leading producers. However, some sweet sorghum has been grown for syrup or silage in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Sorghum
Sorghum is believed to have originated in Africa, with archaeological evidence suggesting that it was first domesticated in Ethiopia. Today, sorghum is grown in many countries across the world due to its versatility and adaptability to different climates.
In Australia, sorghum is primarily grown in Queensland and New South Wales. The warm climate and well-drained soils in these regions provide ideal conditions for sorghum cultivation. It is particularly suited to areas with limited rainfall, making it a resilient crop choice for farmers in these states. Additionally, sorghum is increasingly recognized for its drought tolerance and adaptability to varying soil types.

Crops grown in Austin are normally corn, cotton, rice, and sorghum.
There are species of sorghum which are developed especially for animal feed, and we have fed them with great success. However, when feeding sorghum to horses, one should be certain what kind of sorghum is being grown and that the grower knows how to properly manage, cure and bale the crop. Unless you really know what you are doing, letting your horse graze on growing sorghum or Sudan grass can be a risky proposition.
