El Reno

On Wednesday I headed to the ARS at El Reno to have a look at some of the research they are doing on integrated farming systems. So far out of all the places I have visited, this climate in Texas/Oklahoma is as close to home as I have come.
Oklahoma grazes a lot of their wheat to background cattle before going into the feedlot. They still have gaps in their feed production and are looking for alternative forages to fill the holes. Currently they are doing some work with forage sorghum, showing some good potential. One thing I could not get my head around though was they claim to be limited for moisture on a 30-40 inch rainfall?
