     Your stalks should be at least 6 to 8 inches apart.  If you leave them thick they will be about the size of a pencil.  If you space them they can be as large as 2 inches in diameter depending on your soil and rainfall.  You will get many times more juice.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE GROWN SORGHUM. I PLANTED 3 LBS OF DALE TO AN  
ACRE. IT ALL CAME UP AND IS 1.5 TO 2 FT TALL AND FAIRLY THICK. I HAVE BEEN  
READING RECENT EMAILS ABOUT THE IMPORNTANCE OF THINNING SO I STARTED TO PULL UP  
A FEW STALKS AND FOUND THAT MY ROOTS ARE TANGLED AND IT SEEMS THAT IF I 
CONTINUE  I WILL CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH WIND UNLESS THERE IS 
A  HURRICANE HERE IN WEST CENTRAL LA. SO IT SHOULDN'T BLOW OVER. SHOULD I 
LEAVE AS  IS OR CUT SOME DOWN TO GROUND LEVEL INSTEAD OF PULLING IT. PLEASE ADVISE
