Since 1952 Golden Acres has been the name to trust for grain sorghum.

In 2010, you’ll continue to get top performance from our southern-bred hybrids. Across multiple trials they consistently show a 200 pounds per acre yield advantage over our competitors. How many 58 year olds do you know that still run circles around the competition?
