NORGHUM 
Grow Two Where One Grew Before 
Norghum is an earlier maturing combine grain sorghum developed by Clifford 
Franzke of the South Dakota Experiment Station for the needs of the western 
and Southwestern farms. The yield is higher than other varieties of grain 
sorghum because it is two weeks earlier maturing. Average yield 48 bushels 
per acre. 
Norghum grows to a height of 36 to 46 inches. The seed cluster is long and 
open, which allows for drying of the seed, and is better than other compact 
types which often mold. The seed germinates rapidly and at low temperatures. 
Norghum is a row crop to be cultivated like corn or cane and other milo 
varieties. FEED VALUE nearly EQUAL to CORN. Plant 4 to 6 pounds per 
acre.

RANCHER SORGHUM 
A South Dakota Experiment Station introduction that saves stock- 
men thousands of dollars by preventing losses from acid poisoning 
and gives us a most dependable drought-resistant safe forage. 
RANCHER SORGHUM is a hybrid developed by crossing and re- 
crossing Low Acid selections from Dakota Black Amber Cane. 
This plant with its sweet leafy stalk has produced six and one- 
half tons of forage and 2,260 pounds of grain per acre, 25 per cent 
more than the Amber Cane alongside it.
