# Nuseed gets serious with sorghum | Farm Online | ACT

> Nuseed Australia has launched its first two grain sorghum hybrids, Cracka and Rippa, aimed at growers in different regions. The launch comes after ABARES reported 2016-17 sorghum plantings fell to their lowest level in 26 years as low prices pushed growers into other crops.

## Why it matters

New varieties may help rebuild Australian sorghum supply over time, but the near-term effect on prices is limited because the acreage decline has already happened and prices are cyclical.
