South Dakota fields

in #esteem8 years ago

This crop is not grown in my area and I had to look up to see what it even was. There were fields of it being grown in South Dakota and I believe that it is sorghum.

Someone else may know for certain if I am correct. but no matter what it is, it makes an interesting landscape picture!

what is a plant of a kind

Sorghum. For animal food.

Great patterns. Expansive sky

Thanks! And especially thanka for stopping by! ❤️

Milo is what we called this crop but yes it is sorghum. When I was growing up if you called it milo if you let it ripen and harvested the grain. If you harvested it sooner and chopped up the entire plant for cattle feed, we called that sorghum. But we were just hick farmers... haha. I think sorghum is correct name.

I have heard of Milo. Thats a good explanation. When I looked it up I also saw Sudan grass. Not sure if they're all one and the same. So I have a jar of sorghum in the cupboard that I use as a sweetener, like molasses. Is this all the same plant?

I think so. I thought sorghum as a sweetener was a southern thing. Have you ever heard of Karo syrup? My family pumpkin pie recipe calls for it and my wife had never heard of it.

Karo syrup is a staple. I can't imagine my cupboards without it. 😉 pecan pie, icing for sugar cookies, multitudes of Christmas goodies! There is a nearby Amish family that sells sorghum. They have a sorghum press. I can remember going with my grandparents to buy sorghum at the farm. I need sorghum to make my grandma's baked bean recipe.

I've heard of sorghum, but I've never seen it growing.

It was new to me, too. I knew I must stop and take photos!

Great fields, fertile land and its yields :)

Wonderful photos

Greetings

Thanks, luv! Have you traveled much around the USA?

Yes, we have travelled a lot. ;)

I think ? :)

I am sending the map with all of the states where we have been.

I think it would be easier to see :)

And of course Illinois because we lived there :) Plus one more which I forgot - Missisipi. :)

Greetings my friend :)

You have traveled to more states than many Americans! I am impressed!

We love to travel it helps us to recharge batteries and relax from work and our routine duties :)

Thank you

America is beautiful and really amazing :)

I love to travel too and it mskes me sad that my health prevents me from going as I have gotten older.

I am so sorry to hear that my friend.

They have to come up with teleportation quickly, I think about you, my love.

I will be the first in line for them to experiment on! There are still so many things I had planned on seeing and doing!

Hi
I also just saw this type of plant. It seems like this type of plant does not grow in Indonesia where I am.

From what I read when I was looking it up, it seems that it originates from Africa.

I've heard of it but never had a clue what they do with it! I'm being stubborn and not looking it up and i'm going to guess they use it for animal feed? lol

You got it! And ethanol production.

Oooew. .
I want to know what the name for this plant is. Is this a vegetable or fruit. That makes me curious.

The land for plants is very broad. Very beautiful to look at.

Sorgum is its name. It is a grain.

That is very cool looking with the golden rows. Can’t help you on what crop it is though.

Thanks! I think we have it narrowed down to milo/sorghum. It is pretty in the field, isn't it?

Beautiful photographs, it should be great to visit those fields

I do like wide open spaces!

I know, you also take beautiful photos

I know, you also take beautiful photos

I loved the way they are planted so symmetrically...

The massive agricultural equipment that is used on these big fields does a good job!
