Make starch
work harder.
Targeting starch content and digestibility to help cattle use more of the energy in sorghum.
Freedom. Strength. Relentlessness.
Our development goal
Lower feeding costs.
Without sacrificing
performance.
We’re developing sorghum to help dairy farmers produce milk more economically and feedlots lower their cost of gain.
For the people who feed America.

A better starting point
The crop is only as valuable as what the cow can use.
More nutrients on paper aren’t enough. Our work starts with how cattle digest their feed — and what that means for your operation.
We focus on digestible starch, usable protein and, for silage, digestible fiber. Our ambition combines high crop yields with more feeding value and lower total feeding costs.

feeding value.
Developing improved protein digestibility to increase sorghum’s contribution to the ration.
Keep the whole
ration in view.
Crop traits, processing, and additional feed ingredients all count toward your feeding cost.
Two operations. One purpose.
What do you feed?
Your operation sets the goal.
Our development starts there.
GRAIN SORGHUM · PLANTING SEEDFrom the ration back to the plant
Better feeding
starts within.
We work backward from your feeding goal. The crop traits we pursue need to earn their place in the complete ration.
Energy the cow can access.
We target starch concentration alongside digestibility. Harvesting and processing also help determine how much of that energy becomes usable feed.
For America’s farmers and ranchers.
For the people
who keep going.
We respect the people who work the land. Your decisions. Your operation. Our purpose is to help make the feed in front of your cattle work harder for you.
Independent by nature. Forward by choice.
Straight answers
Good questions.
Clear direction.
What does Grainhawk develop?
We develop sorghum silage and grain for cattle feeding, with digestibility and total feeding cost guiding our work.
How do you approach lower feeding costs?
We consider the crop’s usable nutrients alongside harvesting, processing, additional ingredients, and cattle performance. The goal is better economics across the complete ration.
Are savings or performance guaranteed?
No. These are development goals. Feeding results depend on the crop, processing, complete ration, and conditions at your operation.
Relentlessly Forward.
