HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Sorghum is traditionally thought of as a fodder plant, but there is a growing movement of food-grade sorghum.

The Hutchinson News reports that for the past three years at elevators in Brenham, Kansas, farmers have hauled in loads of food-grade sorghum. It is one of a few locations across Kansas taking in largely a white sorghum that is good for milling into flour.

Bobby Martin, general manager of Southern Plans Co-op, says the first year, about 12,000 bushels of white sorghum were binned at Brenham. Last year, it surpassed 100,000 bushels, and this year will reach that number, if not top it.
