2120 Forage Sorghum for Summer Biomass
Watch a field evaluation of 2120 forage sorghum, a tall-growing variety bred for rapid biomass production. Learn why this inexpensive sorghum works well for late-season grazing, stands firm after frost, and delivers pounds of carbon per day even in dry conditions—and when it's the right choice versus brown midrib varieties.

0:00 This is 21:24 exordium 2120 is the tall growing true forage sorghum it is not a.
0:07 Brown midrib so it's fairly inexpensive.
0:10 We like to 2120 because you can get a.
0:13 Lot of growth in a short period of time. It's very similarly related to the old.
0:17 Sweet sorghum canes like a Rocks Orange type product stands pretty well even.
0:23 After a frost so it's pretty good for late season grazing one of the major.
0:28 Roles of sorghum in a cover crop mixtures simply to add biomass nothing.
0:33 Puts on pounds of biomass per day like sorghum does in the summertime even.
0:43 Goal to produce a lot of biomass at very little expense. This is a good product.
0:47 For you and I would not use this if you're going to do multiple grazing.
0:51 That would be better for sorghum Sedan, but this would be a good kind of one and.
0:55 Done big grazing, big carbon producing product. Yeah, the quality of the grazing on this is not going to be as good as a brown midrib. And so if livestock is your goal, there's probably other products that are going to be better. If biomass is your goal for the least amount of money, this is probably your number one choice.
