WGF Sorghum Seed

WGF Sorghum Seed is a premium warm-season grain sorghum specifically selected for wildlife food plots, upland bird habitat, waterfowl feeding areas, and supplemental fall and winter forage. This early-maturing grain sorghum produces heavy seed heads on compact plants, making it an excellent long-lasting food source for quail, doves, ducks, pheasants, wild turkeys, and deer.

Unlike many conventional grain sorghum varieties, WGF Sorghum features improved bird resistance during the early seed development stages. This characteristic helps prevent large flocks of blackbirds and other nuisance birds from stripping the seed heads before the crop fully matures, allowing wildlife managers and hunters to maintain dependable food availability deeper into the season.

Plants typically reach heights of approximately 26 to 30 inches and begin blooming around 40 to 50 days after emergence under favorable growing conditions. As the grain matures and naturally weathers through the fall months, tannin levels gradually decline, improving palatability for both game birds and deer. This delayed feeding characteristic helps extend the usefulness of the plot throughout hunting season and colder weather periods.

WGF Sorghum performs exceptionally well in wildlife management programs because it combines fast establishment, drought tolerance, excellent seed production, and strong standability. The dense seed heads continue providing nutrition long after maturity, making it a dependable option for both small food plots and large-scale wildlife habitat plantings.
