Sorghum

Sorghum is a drought tolerant crop that uses about one third less water to produce approximately the same energy and nutrition as corn. With superior salinity and drought tolerance it’s an ideal crop for arid or marginal land. Globally Nuseed is advancing sorghum’s use as a highly digestible livestock feed, for ethanol production, and as a high fiber gluten-free food ingredient.
