1/2 Pound Seeds Wild Game Sorghum Sorghum bicolor

Wild Game Sorghum is a tall, vigorous grain sorghum that produces large seed heads on sturdy stalks. Its robust growth habit and abundant seed production make it a practical choice for wildlife food plots, cover crops, and home grain growing. The plants develop substantial biomass and reliable seed set under warm growing conditions.

This sorghum serves well in wildlife plantings, summer cover crop mixes, and grain production. The seed heads attract birds and other wildlife, while the stalks contribute organic matter to the soil. It can be grown as a warm-season annual and fits into rotational planting systems. Harvest grain when seeds are fully mature and dry.
