FOR THE HOOMANS

Sorghum isn’t just for the fur babies in our lives. It’s a nutritious and environmentally-friendly ingredient that can be used in a range of recipes or found in a variety of packaged products.

SUPER SUSTAINABLE

Conserving water and improving soil health are essential for ensuring a safe, reliable food source for both current and future generations. Sorghum is one of the most sustainable crops because it’s incredibly resistant to heat and drought, helps reduce soil erosion, improves soil health, and conserves wildlife.

It’s definitely not called the Resource Conserving Crop™ for nothing.

91% of sorghum acres are rain fed, which results in 1.5 trillion gallons of irrigation water savings per year.

Sorghum uses 30% less water than comparable grains, which is an annual savings so significant, it could supply the water usage of over 16 million homes.

WATER SAVINGS

Sorghum stalks left standing in the field after harvest add nutrients back into the soil, break up soil compaction, and provide cover to prevent against and reduce effects of wind erosion.

Sorghum farmers’ use of conservation tillage methods can reduce soil erosion by more than 75%.

Soil Health

Sorghum improves air quality by removing carbon from the atmosphere and safely storing it in the soil.

Air Quality

Sorghum stalks provide critical habitats and ideal cover for pheasants and quail during the winter. Sorghum also provides food in the form of residual grain.
