Sorghum seed is a crop which is used as food for human consumption, and for livestock such as birds, pigs, and cows. Sorghum is beneficial for farmers because it is able to provide molasses, as sorghum seeds have higher sugar content. They also help farmers because the lower leaves of sorghum do not dry when the plant matures. Sorghum seeds can grow in very poor soils where maize, rice and other cereals cannot grow.
