U.S. sorghum harvest is advancing, with USDA's September WASDE projecting 7.3 million planted acres, 6.5 million harvested, and 69.7 bushels per acre. At a national average price of $5.85 per bushel, the 2021 crop is valued at roughly $2.7 billion, a record.
Late heat and Texas Gulf Coast sprouting issues will keep national yield from setting a record.
Large acreage and strong yields point to ample U.S. sorghum supply, which tempers price upside even as the crop's total value is high for farmers buying feed.
