# Eldoret farmer beats feed shortage with super-productive Pakistan sorghum

> 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.

## Why it matters
