Our robust sorghum testing program consists of separate dryland and irrigated forage and grain sorghum hybrid performance trials.  Trials mainly consist of varieties and hybrids entered and paid for by commercial seed companies.  Sometimes hybrids that are specifically adapted to, or are widely grown in our region are added as commercial checks.  Our trials are also partially funded by the Colorado Sorghum Producers.

Grain Sorghum Results:

• Akron Dryland
• Brush Irrigated
• Rocky Ford Irrigated
• Seibert Dryland
• Sheridan Lake Dryland
• Walsh Dryland
• Walsh Irrigated

Forage Sorghum Results:

• Rocky Ford

Grain Sorghum Agronomy Trial Results:

• Akron Row Spacing – funded by National Sorghum Checkoff
• Multi-Site Year Microbiological Product Trials – funded by Colorado Sorghum Producers and Indigo Ag
