In this episode of Milo Matters, we sit down with Dr. Scott Staggenborg and Shane Halfmann from Advanta Seeds to talk about the innovations shaping the future of sorghum production.

From advancements in hybrid development to the rollout of the igrowth system, this conversation breaks down how new genetics and production tools are helping growers improve weed control, protect yield potential and adapt to rising input costs.

We also dive into what's happening in the field right now, including key agronomic considerations for the season, shifting market dynamics and why sorghum continues to stand out as a resilient, low-input crop in uncertain conditions.

Plus, we explore how Advanta's global footprint and research investment are driving new solutions for U.S. growers and what's coming next in the sorghum pipeline.

Whether you're making planting decisions or just looking to stay ahead of the curve, this episode delivers practical insights you can use on your operation.

This week on Milo Matters, we sit down with Bryan Thomas of DEKALB, a valued industry partner of National Sorghum Producers, to talk about pushing sorghum yields to the next level.

Bryan shares his background in agriculture, DEKALB's approach to performance-driven sorghum genetics and how innovation continues to equip growers for today's production challenges. We also dive into the National Sorghum Yield Contest and why it remains such a powerful platform for showcasing what's possible in the field.

Strong yields don't happen in isolation. They're built through research, management and the partnerships that support growers every step of the way. This episode highlights how DEKALB's commitment to sorghum, and its partnership with NSP, helps move the industry forward.

If you care about yield, innovation and collaboration that delivers results, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Ethanol plays a critical role in America's fuel supply—but what does that mean for sorghum growers? In this episode of Milo Matters, Eric Washington sits down with ethanol policy expert John Duff to break down what ethanol is, why it lowers fuel costs, and how sorghum fits into today's and tomorrow's energy markets. The conversation covers year-round E15, export growth, and what emerging policies like the 45Z clean fuel tax credit could mean at the farm gate. A practical, plain-language discussion on one of the most important demand drivers for U.S. sorghum.
