¹Trial conducted on the Burl Scherler farm; seeded 6/4 and harvested 11/8.

*Only four varieties were analyzed as there was herbicide damage to the remaining varieties in the test.

**Official weather reports indicate that the average temperature for the 2004 growing season (June through August) was 4 degrees F below normal. This significantly reduced the growing degree days needed for higher sorghum yields.
