Hybrid Grain Sorghum

Richardson Seeds produces hybrid grain sorghum, often referred to as Milo, We have been producing hybrid sorghum grain as long as there has been hybrid sorghum.

Richardson Seeds produces its grain sorghums on the North Plains of Texas which provides some of the finest isolation to grow grain hybrids for their customers on highly fertile, semi-arid land with an abundance of irrigation water. These factors produce premium quality, vigorous seed, with fewer disease problems.

Richardson Seeds’ grain hybrids showcase various traits including disease resistance, drought tolerance, and sugarcane aphid tolerance based upon market demands. These hybrids are produced in a variety of maturity ranges from Ultra Early, Early, Medium Early, Medium, Medium Late, and Late Maturity to accommodate the growing seasons in different regions.
