Sorghum bicolor
100 days. We were so excited to grow 'Wheatland', a hulless sorghum that can be ground into a nutritious flour. Wheatland is the result of a selection from a kafir-milo cross made at the US Field Station in Woodwark, Oklahoma by J. B. Sieglinger. Plants get 6 feet tall and produce large round seeds that don't fall off in the field but thresh easily.
