Default RE: Prussic Acid and Sorghum

We actually have a sorghum plot in right now that I am concerned about.

The area we are planting has pretty sandy soil. We have a series of alfalfaplots and sorghum/sudangrass hybrid plots (the sorghum also serves as a screen from a public road).I would rather plant clover, butalfalfa seems to grow better there. Corn does not do well, but sorghum does.

Anyway, if you have been watching the news, you know we had a drought going on in parts of the midwest that was recently endedwth flooding. Our sorghum plot looked horible afew of weeks ago. We thought it was going to be a loss, because we had not seen sorghum plants go dormant before. When the rains came, the plants shot up and the plots are making a come back. We will probably need a late frost to geta lot of grain, but we still have a chance.

I had not given mucn thought to prussic acid previously, but since the plants were really stressed this year, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this or information.
