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.
In North America, sorghum is cultivated in parts of the central and southern plains of the United States where rainfall is low and variable. Kansas, Texas, Nebraska and Arkansas are the major producing states, accounting for about 80 percent of total production in the United States. In Asia, sorghum is extensively cultivated in India, China, Yemen, Pakistan and Thailand.
