Abstract

Sorghum has become a major feed grain crop in recent years, complementing the development of the feedlot industry in the Southwest where most U.S. sorghum is produced. About 72 percent of the crop is fed domestically; exports account for 26 percent. Seed, food, and industrial use totaled less than 1 percent of total demand in the past 10 years. The entire U.S, sorghum subsector, from producer to end-user, is described as are the factors affecting supply and demand: production costs, supply trends, production geography, stock levels, Government policy, market structure, prices, and world production and trade.
