Grain Sorghum And Soybean Variety Tests On Reconstructed Prime Land - 1985, R. I. Barnhisel, Morris J. Bitzer, William O. Thom
Grain Sorghum And Soybean Variety Tests On Reconstructed Prime Land - 1985, R. I. Barnhisel, Morris J. Bitzer, William O. Thom
Agronomy Notes
Prime farmland disturbed by surface mining must by law be returned to a productivity level equal to that before mining. The coal operator has several test crops that can be selected to determine whether these production standards have been met before final bond release will be made. Grain sorghum and soybeans are two of the crops that may be used. The purposes of this research are (1) to determine the crop yield potential of restored prime farmland from surface mined areas, (2) to determine varietal adaptation on restored prime farmland as compared to non-mined prime farmland, and (3) to provide …

Grain Sorghum Performance Tests-1972, James H. Herbek, Morris J. Bitzer
Agronomy Notes
Grain sorghum performance tests provide estimates of the relative performance of grain sorghum hybrids in Kentucky. These estimates, hopefully, will aid growers in their selection of a hybrid. The choice of the best grain sorghum hybrid for a given set of crop management conditions and environmental variables is an important step to profitable grain sorghum production. Hybrids should be selected that are well adapted to a given area and have records of high performance.
Grain sorghum performance tests were conducted at three locations in Kentucky in 1972. This report presents the yield and other agronomic data obtained at these locations.

Grian Sorghum Performance Tests - 1971, James H. Herbek, Morris J. Bitzer
Agronomy Notes
Grain sorghum varieties were evaluated at four locations (Carlisle, Daviess, Hopkins, and Todd Counties) in Kentucky in 1971.

Forage Sorghum And Forage Pearl Millet Performance Lexington, Kentucky 1970, Roy E. Sigafus
Agronomy Notes
Most livestock producers, especially dairy farmers, have a need for a high quality roughage in summer when cool-season grass pastures are normally low in production. Alfalfa and clover-grass mixtures grazed rotationally, and small grain and "grass" silage or hay are common sources of summer feed . There is an increasing interest, however, in forage sorghums and forage millets for grazing or green-chop .

Agronomy Notes
Twenty-five grain sorghum hybrids and one variety planted May 22 were evaluated at the Western Kentucky Substation at Princeton for yield, plant height, date headed, head type and moisture. They were also evaluated at Lexington for bird damage and at the Robinson Substation for MDM.
