It's harvest time at Dell Brothers in Westminster, and while they harvest plenty of different crops, today they're harvesting something a little unusual: sorghum. As we ride along in the combine with Greg Dell, he explains why this grain is a good fit for their farm. While not as popular as corn, wheat, or soybeans, sorghum has some natural advantages. It suffers less crop damage from deer, and it seems to do well even during dry years when other crops struggle. After the crop is harvested, we see Greg's father Gary Dell managing the truckloads of sorghum being delivered to their grain elevator, where it will be stored temporarily before being driven to Pennsylvania to be added to bird seed mixes.
