Abstract

Abstract : The Mid‐Atlantic region is home to the second‐largest production area for the swine and poultry industry in the U.S. The region has a grain deficit, however, with approximately two‐thirds of the feed grain demand met with grain imported from other regions. Grain sorghum appears to be a suitable addition to the crop selection in the Mid‐Atlantic based on performance and yield stability.
