# USDA lowers sorghum production guess - Brownfield Ag News

> USDA's November 1 estimate cut U.S. sorghum production to 235.77 million bushels, down nearly 8.8 million from October, after the average yield fell 1.6 bushels to 43 per acre. Drought in parts of the Plains drove the lower yields, and 2022/23 ending stocks were put at 24 million bushels.
