‘Exceptional’ sorghum harvest wraps up on Downs

‘Exceptional’ sorghum harvest wraps up on Downs

STRONG yields and minimal harvest disruptions have capped off a successful sorghum season on the Darling Downs.

An estimated 80 percent of the crop has been harvested across the Darling Downs and south to Goondiwindi, with only small volumes of later-planted sorghum remaining.

Harvest has wrapped up in northern New South Wales, where strong sorghum yields in pockets have helped offset a smaller planted area, while desiccation is under way on the Liverpool Plains.
