The chairmen of the National Sorghum Growers Association says he doesn’t expect a significant shift in sorghum due to drought.
Kansas farmer Craig Meeker says the crop can be drought tolerant, but planting conditions in some areas of the Great Plains are dire. “In some places where there is still some potential fore moisture, I think there will be some acreage shift to sorghum. There are a lot of acres that are just pretty bleak. If it doesn’t rain a lot, they don’t have any way to go right now.”
