It is adapted to a wide range of environments, so it is being developed as a viable crop for the production of sugar-derived biofuels and biobased chemicals. One of the decisions to be made in establishing sweet sorghum as a feedstock is the choice of harvest method. There are several ways to harvest sweet sorghum on a large scale [16]. It can be cut as whole stalks using a sugarcane “soldier” harvester, harvested using a sugarcane or similar harvester that produces short stalk sections or billets, or cut into very small pieces with a forage harvester. There will be significant variability in the harvest-to-crush time. The rate of harvest, the distance from the field to the processing facility, and the rate at which the processing facility can crush the sorghum will all influence the time between harvesting and crushing. If there are mechanical difficulties at the factory, the cut-to-crush time might be as much as a few days. During that time, there is chemical, biochemical, and biotic action on the sugars in the sorghum.
