- The first time I grew sorghum I couldn't believe how irritating and itchy it was to harvest and how difficult it was to thresh. I then ran it through a hammer mill we used for grinding alfalfa and hay. It worked perfect and fast. It did over 100 lbs in less than 10 minutes.

Now that I no longer have a farm or a hammer mill, I run the whole heads right through a corona hand cranked mill set at just the right setting and it quickly threshes and dehulls at the same time. Then it's winnowed to remove all the chaff.

It takes about 20 minutes (after soaking overnight) to cook whole sorghum in a pressure cooker. I also grind it into a coarse power and make polenta with it. One cup grits to 4 cups water. The sorghum I have also pops and that is the easiest and fastest way of all to cook.

I have seen people making tortillas from white sorghum in Central America.
- I wonder if you could use a screwdriver like you do corn.
- The global sorghum market is anticipated to witness a rapid growth on account of increase in demand for forage sorghum in livestock feed especially in the Asia Pacific and Latin America.

- I have a video on youtube called "Sorghum Adventure" at trishalynn56 channel, how I made syrup without equipment. It was very time consuming but worth the experience. If I can find a place to grow bigger I would invest in a can mill for sure.
- I grew Black Amber and made syrup. I'm a small time newby with no equipment. I had no problem separating the seed from the stalk, but over 1/2 my seeds have the hard hulls attached. how can I get them removed?
- I started hearing about this just this year. Very easy to grow just wish I had a cane press My seeds didn't look like that and I got white spots on it. I grew the popping sorghum.
