Sorghum U Program Scheduled for January 7 in Levelland
The farmer-focused Sorghum U program is back in 2014 to provide producers with resources to explore the production qualities of grain sorghum. The four-location series is sponsored by the Sorghum Checkoff, Sorghum Partners, CrustBuster/Speed King Inc. and High Plains Journal.
Four Sorghum U events will take place in 2014 in Texas, Kansas and Nebraska, including a session at the Mallet Conference Center in Levelland, Texas, Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Breakout sessions will feature lessons learned from experienced sorghum growers from the South Plains, as well as a session on managing sorghum for top yields led by Dr. Scott Staggenborg, of Chromatin. The Sorghum Checkoff’s Dr. Justin Weinheimer will present on water and irrigation management, and a session will feature the rotational opportunities available with sorghum and cotton.
“The Sorghum Checkoff is committed to increasing producer profitability, and we believe the Sorghum U education program is an excellent opportunity to help producers do just that,” said Dr. Justin Weinheimer, crop improvement program director for the Sorghum Checkoff. “Sorghum U will showcase regionally-specific information on management and marketing to help growers increase their bottom line with sorghum.”
