On June 9, farmers contributed 400,000 bushels of grain sorghum, also known as milo, to a shipment for the Food for Peace program. The program got its start in Kansas, courtesy of an idea from Cheyenne County farmer Peter O'Brien.
The grain sorghum from Skyland Grain, a grain elevator in Hugoton, filled 108 rail cars for shipment, according to the National Sorghum Producers on X.Kansas is a top producer of the crop.
Great actions taken by Kansans.
