Grain sorghum, once a staple crop before being largely displaced by corn and soybeans, is drawing renewed attention as farmers and food producers look for drought-tolerant grains. Kansas City public radio reported on how the hardy cereal, long grown on the Great Plains, is being revived both for agriculture in a drier climate and for use in food products, with growers and researchers pointing to its low water needs as a reason to plant more of it.
Why now: Drought and climate pressure on staple grains are driving fresh interest in sorghum as a hardy alternative.
