Historic drought in the Central Plains reduced yields to the lowest since the hybridization of the crop, according to the Chairmen of National Sorghum Producers. November’s sorghum production fell nearly 9 million bushels from October to 235.8 million as listed in the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture report.
