I’d be interested in knowing the name of the sorghum variety if you don’t mind telling. I got 1/2lb of milo seed this year and a couple heirloom varieties of sorghum from Baker Creek and SESE.

We’re going to grow sunflowers for the chickens too. Just have to come up with a clever deer repellant device.

I hadn’t thought of needing a thresher. That sounds like a hubby honey do thing.

Has anyone tried the ‘HoneyDip’ stevia variety? It’s tempting me at Burpee but at $11/plant it’s not something I’m just going to ‘add to cart’ impulsively.

I haven’t seen him list it again but I seem to recall he just called it ‘grain sorghum.’ In any event, the seeds are probably 1/8-3/16 diameter and the heads are about the size of small canned hams or a Nerf football. If you wnat, I’ll send you some seed but you’ll have to grow out your supply over a few seasons. FReepmail me with your information if you want.
