Sorghum rising: Land O' Lakes, Chromatin to develop, deploy hybrid forage sorghum seeds

August 1, 2011 |

In Illinois, Winfield Solutions, a subsidiary of Land O’ Lakes and Chromatin announced a partnership to market and develop hybrid forage sorghum seed products that will be marketed and distributed through the Winfield Solutions network of customers in North America.

In addition, the agreement calls for Chromatin and Sorghum Partners to provide Winfield Solutions with access to its diverse and expanding portfolio of proprietary sorghum lines, and to develop, test and produce forage sorghum hybrids that meet the needs of customers and dealers.

Through this alliance, Winfield Solutions and Chromatin will collaborate to access and improve various types of forage sorghum, including traditional forage sorghum, sudan grass, sorghum-sudan grass hybrids and sweet sorghums. These forage crops allow growers to produce highly nutritious feed for grazing, hay, green chop or silage while requiring less water and fewer inputs than other livestock feeds.
