[Syrupmakers] me 81

[Kelly Tidwell]

In my opinion(and it's just exactly that) is that  a couple of things are happening. 1 is that your seed you saved last year is going to be better than seed you saved 5 years ago. 2. Since you're saving seed from a hybrid, you aren't getting pure m81e seed. You're getting a little m81e and a little of each of the parent sorghum of the m81e....if anyone can weigh in on this if I'm wrong, please do

All was very spindly at the harvest time, but the height seemed to even out some.  Could this be weather related (too much rain) or seed deteriation dut to the fact that M81 is a HYbred?  Anyone have any thoughts?   Thanks    Charles
