Rice and Sweet Sorghum Harvest

Weather conditions have been good for harvesting research plots at the University of Missouri-Fisher Delta Center this fall. Sweet sorghum biomass yields for energy research have been high (35 to 40 tons per acre).  Yields from traditional crops such as corn and rice have been average.  Below are links to video silage cutter and plot combine harvesting plots from my iPhone.
