9300 Milo Grain Sorghum Seed is a reliable warm-season annual sorghum variety designed for growers, land managers, and wildlife plotters who need a hardy grain crop that performs well in challenging conditions. Also called grain sorghum or milo, 9300 produces attractive deep-red seed heads, reaches approximately 44–48 inches in height, and offers strong stalk quality for dependable field performance.
This variety is well adapted to a range of soil types and is valued for its ability to handle hot, dry growing conditions. Grain sorghum is widely recognized as a drought-tolerant, high-energy crop that can be grown as grain, forage, or a multipurpose field crop, making 9300 a practical option for livestock operations, wildlife food plots, and warm-season cover crop systems.
The concept-treated seed treatment helps protect grain and forage sorghum from crop injury caused by certain S-metolachlor-containing herbicides. Always follow the seed tag and herbicide label directions before planting or applying herbicides.
