[edit] Locales

I'm going to add "Rwanda" on to this list: "In Nigeria, Lesotho and South Africa, sorghum is used to produce beer." The local brew in Kigali (and perhaps other parts, though I didn't see any up north) is called Primus, and it is also a sorghum beer. Anglican 05:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

It gets unnecessarily untidy when articles start list every single nation or state by name, especially for trivial points such as this. Once the list gets over 3 or 4 long replace it with a generic. In this case "southern Africa".

[edit] Sweet sorghum

There seems to be a contradition between this page and the "Sorghum bicolor" page. One states that sweet sorghum is a varity that produces sweet, juicy grains and is thus equivalent to sweet corn. The the other claims that that sweet sorghum is synonymous with forage sorghum, ie stock feed.Ethel Aardvark 08:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I disagree with a merge because I believe each species should have it's own article, and this article is more about the commerical production and wouldn't not contain that much information about the individual species. Million_Moments 07:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
