Sorghum is a highly versatile crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years and has become an essential food source in many parts of the world. Its earliest known cultivation dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to make bread and beer.

There are lots of reasons for preppers and homesteaders to consider growing sorghum.  Sorghum is highly resilient and can grow in various conditions. It is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent crop to grow in arid areas where other crops may not survive. It is also resistant to pests and diseases, making it easier to grow without the need for chemical pesticides.

Sorghum is also highly adaptable and can be grown in a variety of soil types. This versatility means that it can be grown in many different locations, making it a reliable food source or livestock feed for preppers who may need to relocate due to changing circumstances. Additionally, sorghum can be stored for long periods without losing its nutritional value, making it a great crop for food and feed storage needs.
