- Observation Sweet sorghum ethanol yield ranged from 326 to 423 gallons per acre.
- Intervention effect Delayed planting decreased Dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Delayed planting only slightly affected °B.
- Intervention effect Delayed planting only slightly affected stalk moisture.
- Intervention effect Fermentable carbohydrate was about 13% higher at earlier planting dates.
- Intervention effect ethanol yields was about 13% higher at earlier planting dates.
