Annually, Texas farmers cultivate over 2 million acres to yield more than 200 million bushels of corn. This Texas-grown corn, utilized in animal feed, food products, and industrial applications, injects over $1.2 billion into the state's agricultural economy each year. Across the United States, corn stands as the top cash crop, with 85 million acres harvested annually to generate 7 to 9 billion bushels.
Grain sorghum serves as a vital component in Texas farming systems due to its resilience against heat and drought conditions. The state dedicates roughly 3 million acres to this crop yearly, producing an average of 130 million bushels. Beyond its significance as a grain harvest, sorghum also holds substantial value as a source of forage, hay, and silage for Texas agriculture.
