It seems as though most grain
elevators are filled up and they
are piling grain on the ground.
Our facility is full.
We started helping a local farmer
haul milo/grain sorghum to a
pile that is about 36 miles one
way and is a branch facility to our Co-op.
I just Love the different colors of
layers the different varieties of milo make.
I Will be very busy...and I
will catch up when I can!!
ENJOY THE WEEKEND!!!

Grain Sorghum-it's also called milo. Kansas producers grow over 40 percent of the nation's grain sorghum every year. Kansas is the nation's leading producer of grain sorghum.
2007 Production Figures Are Big in Kansas
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service released final 2007 production numbers on January 11. 2007 Kansas sorghum production was strong at 212 million bushels, up 46 percent from last year, according to ag statistics final 2007 numbers released earlier this month. And combined Kansas feedgrain production (sorghum and corn) is 730 million bushels, compared to 490 million bushels in 2006. That's a 49 percent increase.
Total US sorghum production was 505 million bushels. Kansas growers value grain sorghum because it is well suited to perform well in many types of soils and weather. Kansas is a diverse state with soils ranging from sandy to clay to loam, and with summertime weather patterns ranging from hot and humid in the east to hot and dry in the west. With these varying weather and soil conditions throughout Kansas, grain sorghum is a crop that Kansas farmers can depend on.
Most of the grain sorghum produced in Kansas is used as livestock feed. However, the market is expanding with new uses including the production of ethanol, a clean burning fuel for automobiles and starch based biodegradable products like packaging materials. In Kansas, grain sorghum used at the states ethanol plants. The byproduct of ethanol production is distillers' grain, which is valued as a high-nutrient livestock feed.

We were wipped out by a tornado when I was stationed in Kansas while in the USAF. We had to find what we could or were we could to live after that. We moved out on a weat farm. Best place I ever lived. Got my first taste of the country and have lived in the country when ever possible. This capture is beautiful also Jeana, but I prefer the other grain shot.
