Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a drought-tolerant, warm-season cereal grain grown primarily for grain production, but it also serves as an important wildlife food source. Its seeds are highly nutritious and attractive to various wildlife species such as deer, turkeys, and small mammals. Grain sorghum is often planted in wildlife food plots because it provides high-energy grain and cover during winter months.

Benefits for Wildlife Habitat

Nutritious grain that attracts deer, wild turkeys, pheasants, and small mammals.
Drought-tolerant – ideal for areas with unpredictable rainfall or arid conditions.
✔ Provides winter forage when the seeds ripen and remain standing.
Cover crop – helps with erosion control and provides habitat for small game.
✔ Can be left standing as a food source throughout the winter.

Planting Guidelines

  • Planting Times:

    • Late Spring to Early Summer (May–June): Grain sorghum is best planted when soil temperatures reach 60–70°F for optimal germination.
    • Avoid planting in cold, wet soils as it may result in poor germination.
  • Seeding Depth:

    • ½ to 1 inch deep for consistent germination and establishment.
  • Seeding Rates:

    • Drilled: 8–10 lbs per acre for a more uniform stand and reduced seed waste.
    • Broadcast: 10–12 lbs per acre, followed by light harrowing or cultipacking to ensure seed-to-soil contact.
  • Days to Maturity:

    • 90–120 days from planting to full maturity, with the grain becoming available in 100–120 days.
  • Drought Tolerance:

    • High – Grain sorghum is known for its excellent drought resistance due to its deep root system and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions.
  • Saturated Soil Tolerance:

    • Low to Moderate – Sorghum prefers well-drained soils and may be affected by excessive moisture or waterlogging, especially during germination and early growth stages.
  • Shade Tolerance:

    • Low – Grain sorghum requires full sun for optimal growth and grain production, and performs poorly in shaded conditions.

Fertilization Guidelines for Grain Sorghum

  • Soil pH: Sorghum prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils with a pH range of 5.5–7.0.
  • Nitrogen (N): Sorghum has moderate nitrogen requirements. Apply 40–60 lbs of nitrogen per acre pre-plant, and additional 30–40 lbs per acre at planting or in a side-dress application after the plant has started growing.
  • Phosphorus (P): Apply 30–50 lbs P₂O₅ per acre before planting if soil tests show phosphorus deficiency.
  • Potassium (K): Apply 50–80 lbs K₂O per acre to support healthy growth and grain production.

Fertilization Timing:

  • Apply phosphorus and potassium before planting.
  • Apply nitrogen at planting or in split applications during the growing season, with the second application typically occurring when the plant reaches 4–6 inches tall.

Herbicide Use for Grain Sorghum

  • Weed Management:

    • Weed control is vital in the early stages of sorghum growth to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Sorghum is not particularly aggressive against weeds, especially in the seedling stage.
  • Herbicide Options:

    • Pre-emergence: Herbicides such as Atrazine or Prowl H2O (Pendimethalin) can be used for controlling broadleaf weeds and grasses before the sorghum emerges.
    • Post-emergence: Herbicides like 2,4-D or Clethodim can be used to manage broadleaf weeds and grass weeds once the sorghum is established.

Key Considerations:

  • Always follow herbicide labels and use appropriate rates to prevent crop injury.
  • Consider pre-plant incorporation of herbicides to reduce weed competition and ensure sorghum establishment.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Emotional & Powerful Read!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The Book of Cin by HM Wolfe was such an emotional and powerful read! As the first installment in The Stories Trilogy, it completely hooks you and leaves you desperate for more. I absolutely loved watching the FMC slowly grow into her abilities after years of abuse and struggling with her confidence. It felt raw and real in a way that stuck with me 🖤 This story has everything.. found family, betrayal, and moments of truly heart-wrenching grief. But what I loved the most was the belief that love and chosen family can help heal even the deepest, unseen wounds. Seeing that healing unfold made this journey incredibly rewarding ✨ If you love fantasy with emotional depth, an amazing magic system, character growth, and meaningful relationships, you NEED to pick this one up! 📚🔥

Well…
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed the book, it had an interesting plot and magic system. The book is full of smirks, hissing, and crying. OMG the crying! The FMC cries from front to back of the book! I absolutely loved Daggermouth and read this book bc that, but I feel like she had a different editor maybe?! Idk what happened, but this book would have been so much better without the MMC smirking on every page that the FMC was crying on.

Top Book of 2024
Format: Kindle
May Contain Spoilers! Where do I even begin? I'm still in shock of how amazing this book was, how it touched my heart, and now how I have to wait for H. M. Wolfe to write the second. Because those last few chapters...went from 0 to 100 quick. So much new information, new relationships and loss, that now the tides have turned, and we NEED more. This is a fantasy book of love, loss, the power of friendship, and finding one owns strength. TBOC is about Hyacinth whose home is at Asrai’s Academy for Orphans. She was torn between the safety of home or leaving it all behind for a chance at a new life. But when a mysterious messenger appears, whispering rumors of a God among Fae, everything Hyacinth thought she knew about the Realms comes crashing down, and she must now make a new journey. This book ate me up and spit me back out. I was not anticipating the emotions I would feel within these pages. I'm talking I was laughing, then I was swooning, then I was on the edge of my seat, then I'm ready to slap someone, then I'm rooting so hard for certain characters I don't wan to stop, then my heart is broken, then I'm excited af.... it was all an emotional rollercoaster. The last few chapters contained a lot of new information, so of course as much as it doesn't leave off on a complete cliffhanger, I was over here like scraping the bottom of an ice cream cup, wanting more. The magic system starts out ambiguous, but as you continue reading you start to get more and more to build off of and start to piece together the world H. M. Wolfe created. TBOC brings in eight main characters that test alliances, grow in friendships, fall in love, become a team, and even break bonds. The friendship among the girls was everything. Ata is a spit fire, Pria is sweet yet terrifying. The banter and protectiveness these three had for one another made me want to join in with them for breakfast. I liked how there was multiple romances going on at once. Yes we have the main characters, but it just wasn't always about them, and it was great to see how others shifted and grew too. And last the romance, I've never rooted so hard for two characters. We're talking slow burn between them. In the beginning you're not sure how this is all going to play out, but Landers is a tatted, "touch her and die" kind of MMC, which who cannot love that? Hyacinth definitely had to grow within the chapters and learn how to be strong, because sometimes she was making me mad and I just wanted to step in there for her. But Landers was everything she needed and it was so well written, which is why by time you get to the end you only want more of them!
