  1. Opportunities for Sorghum use in the Poultry Industry Raleigh, 17 April, 2013

  2. Chromatin Overview – Focused on Sorghum • 20+ million pounds of seed inventory produced and distributed annually • Seed delivered to approximately 4 million acres each year • Developing sorghum for traditional and renewable markets

  3. Crop Water Use L.R. Stone

  4. Sorghum Drought Mechanisms

  5. Tipping Points for Yield and Economics Growing Season Water Supply Limited Irrigation Water Not Limiting Stressed Rainfed • Where is the yield tipping point? • How do economics affect the tipping point? • World vs U.S. cropping systems • How are we going to feed the world in the face of declining water supplies? • Chromatin is using this approach to target markets and product development No Water Sorghum Corn

  6. Multi-year Studies in Kansas & Nebraska • Yield comparisons, n = 202: • Corn and sorghum hybrid tests at same location, KS, NE • Cropping-system or rotations studies with both crops in same year in same rotation • Production Costs and Returns: • 2012 Corn and Sorghum Cost-Return budgets, KSU, UNL • Localized costs and market prices used for each location

  7. Sorghum and Corn Yields

  8. Economic Comparison

  9. Economic Comparison Sorghum/Corn Price Ratio: 100% Corn yields where Economic Tipping point = 132bu/a

  10. Economic Comparison Sorghum/Corn Price Ratio: 93%100% Corn yields where Economic Tipping Point = 110132bu/a

  11. Gains made by corn breeding Price Ratio = 100%, Years: 1991-20012002-2011 Corn yields (bu/a) where Economic Tipping point = 146127 Benefit to corn breeding for drought tolerance

  12. Opportunities for Sorghum Corn Yield (bu/a)

  13. NC Corn Yields (NASS and NCSU)

  14. Coastal Plains Sorghum Testing Sites - 2012

  15. Chromatin Grain Sorghum Hybrid Performance - 2012

  16. Chromatin Hybrids for Coastal Plains For detailed hybrid information visit www.chromatininc.com/seed.html • Keys to Successful Hybrids in this environment • Med to Med-Full maturity to capture long growing season • Excellent leaf disease resistance (MDMV, anthracnose, and Downey Mildew) • Excellent emergence as no-till and strip till are used • One or two hybrids with double crop potential

  17. Sorghum in Poultry Feeding – United Sorghum Checkoff

  18. Chromatin Hybrid Compositional Data

  19. Feeding Sorghum Guides (www.sorghumcheckoff.com)
