For fun, we planted different forage sorghum varieties in 2-row strips across this block. It got a Huskie application when (we thought) flag leaves weren't emerging yet. Turns out this one was a wee bit earlier than the others and is showing it now. Took a minute to realize this was a variety effect... Yall have a good weekend. United Sorghum Checkoff Program
