Abstract
The Great Plains region of the United States (US) has a rich history of growing summer crops such as maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Sorghum is highly valued for its resilience to environmental stressors, particularly drought, while maize is favored for its high yield potential and responsiveness to inputs.
