Pioneer® sorghum hybrids provide feed grain to the beef, dairy, pig and poultry industries
Sorghum is the main summer farming crop grown in Queensland and Northern New South Wales. It's a good choice as a rotation crop due to its high heat and moisture stress tolerance.
Sorghum is well suited to dry conditions, areas with uneven rainfall distribution that may adversely affect the growing season of other crops, and high year to year variation in rainfall and water supplies.
Other advantages to growing sorghum include its ability to be grown on marginal soils and a shorter growing season.
The lower variable cost of sorghum can help growers spread risk by producing another crop at lower cost therefore spreading limited capital across more acres.
As with all our products, there’s always a Pioneer® Territory Sales Manager or Farm Services Consultant in your local area to help you choose the right grain sorghum and provide on-farm backup and technical support.

The low staygreen of A50 helps grain moisture drop quickly coming into harvest, meaning it will be ready to harvest with hybrids that are quicker to flower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">A50 will dry down quickly prior to desiccation and then once desiccated will continue to dry down rapidly. This trait makes it a good option to plant with a hybrid like A14 to spread a harvest window as A14 will dry down slower, or with A66 to spread flowering risk but have both hybrids ready to harvest at a similar time.<\/p>","content2":"<h3 style=\"color: #212529; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif;\">KEY FEATURES<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Favourable
