As I was reading these pages on sorghum, I thought some of you might be 
interested as well since this was a recent list topic.  The first link 
talks about making syrup, and gives a bit of history.  Don, this page is 
probably not new to you, but I thought of you as I saw all the old mills.

I learned that sorghum is gluten free..didn't know that.

The following link talks about grain sorghum-it appears to be more 
drought tolerant than corn.

This is what I have grown in the past next to the chicken moat.  When 
the seedheads are almost mature, I just bend the cane over the fence so 
the chickens can jump at the seeds.  This is a very pretty plant as well.
