Chest Tubes After Open Heart Surgery. When a patient has a chest tube after heart surgery, the tube is inserted near the sternum (breastbone), and is intended to drain any blood that accumulates away from the surgery site.
Currently there are five major types of sorghum grown: 1) Grain sorghum with dwarf varieties that grow 2 to 5 ft tall for easier combining. 2) Forage sorghum which grows 6 to 12 ft tall, produces more dry matter tonnage than grain sorghum, is coarse stemmed and used for silage.
For silage production, the usual procedure is to plant forage sorghum in rows at a seeding rate of 5 to 10 lb/acre. Plants grown in 30 to 40 in. rows usually yield as much as those grown in solid stands, and the lower leaves are retained on the plant longer.
