[Syrupmakers] sorghum soppin

[Herb McIntyre]

I think Gail actually means what is the best way to get the seeds off 
the head - so that she can grind them for flour.   Mostly I just feed 
the seed heads to chickens - I've also passed them through a shredder 
before feeding the chickens, but never tried to separate large amounts 
of seed from the head - I too would like to hear a method.
