Shelley E. Huguley Texas Crop and Weather Report – April 27, 2021 Suggested Event Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021 Sorghum acres are expected to be up this year as prices and increased export demand have made the crop a hot commodity, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert. Ronnie Schnell, AgriLife Extension agronomist, Bryan-College Station, said sorghum producers could be in for a good year with timely rains. About half of the state’s sorghum is planted at this point, Schnell said. Plantings in the Rio Grande Valley were at boot stage if not flowering already and areas along the Gulf Coast and Central Texas were progressing well.
