Forage sorghum has become an attractive option for dairies and feedlots in Texas and Oklahoma as some areas have less well water due to falling aquifer levels. Less sorghum was planted in 2022, but some market analysts expect an increase in sorghum in 2023 because it requires less water than wheat or corn.
