Sorghum is grown in AZ. I'm guessing it looks to be about 2-3 feet tall,
but in almost every respect it looks like corn stalks.

Reminds me of a gradeschool friend who had never been to a farm. I think
we were in 1st grade when our families took an excursion to the country.
Poor kid really didn't know the difference between horse, cow, pig.
Apparently had not given picture books as a pre-schooler. :-)
