Agents and specialists of the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service, as well as other agencies - both private and public - compile this information. It focuses on the animal, forestry, fisheries, plant and wildlife commodities that comprise our vital agricultural industry. This industry continues to contribute significantly to the state's economy with the potential for increased impacts through value-added processing.

Extension Demonstrations Extension demonstrations are conducted annually in numerous parishes throughout the state. The objective of these demonstrations is to evaluate new varieties and continue evaluating proven or recommended varieties under “real world” situations. These large-scale demonstrations are conducted primarily by the parish county agent with assistance from the state specialist and seed dealers. 2005 Extension Demonstrations This page contains the 2005 extension demonstration data. 2004 Extension Demonstrations This page contains the 2004 extension demonstration data. Performance of Grain Sorghum Hybrids in Louisiana 2008 [Image: front cover] Performance of grain sorghum hybrids is annually evaluated by Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station (LAES) researchers. The purpose of these trials is to provide Louisiana growers, seedsmen, county agents of the LCES, and other interested individuals and organizations with unbiased performance data for commercial grain sorghum hybrids submitted for evaluation by private agencies. Results from these trials are used by the LCES for recommending hybrids.

Late-planted Grain Sorghum Reduces Profit Potential This article examines the impact on profits of planting grain sorghum late. Late planting generally occurs when grain sorghum follows winter wheat. Grain sorghum planted beyond the optimum planting window has lower yields and increased insect pressure. These two factors combine to drastically reduce the profit potential compared to grain sorghum planted in the optimal planting window. Click for more information...
