	Sorghum - MSN Encarta
		Sorghum is a genus of numerous species of grasses, some of which are raised for grain and many of which are used as fodder plants either cultivated or as part of pasture.
		Grain sorghums, also known as millet or Guinea corn, include milo, kafir, durra, feterita, and kaoliang, and are among the most drought-tolerant of cereals, becoming dormant under drought and heat stress and then resuming growth when conditions improve.
		Grassy sorghums, including Sudan grass and hybrids of this grass and sweet or grain sorghums, are widely grown for fodder and pasture.

		In 1992, sorghum was planted on approximately 5.4 million hectares in the United States with an average yield of 4,566 kg/ha and a farm value of over $1.7 billion.
		Sorghum starch is manufactured in the U.S. by a wet-milling process similar to that used for corn starch, then made into dextrose for use in foods.
		Sorghum is ground, cracked, steam flaked, and/or roasted, to enhance the nutritional value 12 to 14 percent.

	Sorghum bicolor
		Sorghums are grown for grain and also for forage in areas with inadequate rainfall for satisfactory maize cropping.
		There are two general types: the sweet sorghums, which have stems filled with a sweet juice, and the grain sorghums, which usually have pithy stems.
		When sorghum grain is replacing maize, it must be borne in mind that sorghum lacks carotene and should therefore be supplemented with about 3% dried green feed.

	Sorghum Syrup
		Sorghum syrup is a natural sweetener made by processing juice squeezed from the stalks of certain types of sorghum.

	Crop Profiles
		Sorghum is grown primarily in the southern counties of Nebraska.
		The physiology of the sorghum plant allowing it to cease growing during hot, dry spells, and again progress to maturity when rains occur, enhances its value in Nebraska's climate.
		The next year, a short season sorghum may be planted, to be harvested in time for a winter wheat planting that same fall.

	Seriously Good: Sorghum
		Sorghum is a grass native to eastern Africa, grown, in most places, for its grain.
		Sorghum begins just as molasses does by crushing the cane stalks to squeeze out the juice, the juice is then boiled down, again like sugar cane juice, to produce a syrup (I'm simplifying here).
		In the case of sugar cane this reduced juice is molasses and in the case of sorghum it's sorghum or sorghum molasses.
