My understanding is that the Sorghum cane used to produce molasses is different that grain sorghum. Milo, but, some call it Maize as well. knew a man used to farm irrigated land in Southwest Kansas. He spoke of growing Corn and then he spoke of growing Maize. Took me forever to figure out when he said Maize, he was talking about Milo. The cane used to make molasses at the annual antique engine tractor event here is decidedly different than than grain sorghum grown in the field adjoining my property. We are told the sorghum grown to make the molasses at the event is a variety grown specifically to make molasses. At least one Kansas Ethanol plant was designed around using grain sorghum. Grain Sorghum being a dryland crop in much of Kansas, unlike Corn. Doug Randy wrote: > Sorghum is a cane crop that also produces a grain called Milo.
