# Don't expect a major shift to sorghum acres this year even with drought - Brownfield Ag News

> The chairman of the National Sorghum Growers Association does not expect a major shift to sorghum acres despite drought in the Great Plains. Some acres may move to sorghum where moisture remains, and the crop could help rebuild forage hay stocks. USDA projects US sorghum planted area down 6% to 6 million acres in 2023.
