A dairy farmer in Eldoret switched to Pakistan’s Johar sorghum for silage and reported harvesting it five times since January, with yields of 35 tonnes per acre. He uses the drought-tolerant crop as a lower-water feed source for his cows and also sells silage to nearby farmers.
The example shows how drought-resilient sorghum can help maintain forage availability and dairy output when water is limited. Wider adoption could ease local feed shortages, but the report describes one farm rather than a broad supply shift.
