Wheatland is an heirloom grain sorghum variety developed from a kafir–milo cross made by J. B. Sieglinger at the United States Field Station in Woodward, Oklahoma. First introduced to farmers in 1931, Wheatland was widely grown across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas by the late 1930s. Often referred to as milo, this dependable grain sorghum quickly earned a reputation for strong performance and adaptability.

Plants reach 6 to 7 feet tall and produce large, well-filled heads of round, off-white seeds. Under favorable conditions, secondary and even tertiary heads may develop, boosting overall yield. Maturing in approximately 110 days, Wheatland is a productive and reliable choice for home growers and small-scale grain production.

The harvested seed can be ground into nutritious, naturally gluten-free flour, making it an excellent alternative grain for baking. It is also widely used as livestock feed and is a popular variety for food plots, where its heavy seed production provides excellent forage in late summer and fall. The abundant grain heads readily attract wild fowl and other wildlife. 110 days to harvest.  Each packet contains a minimum of 100 seeds.

At a recommended seeding rate of 30,000 plants per acre:

• 1 packet plants 50 row-feet
• 1 ounce plants 1,452 square feet
• 1 pound plants just over half an acre
