• Excellent forage during the heat of the summer • Primary uses are for pasture and hay • Secondary use is for green chop • Lower lignin content increases intake by animals and increased digestibility • Promote better regrowth by cutting at 35-42” and leaving 6-10” • Thrived very well in Lancaster County in 2009

These warm season annuals can produce much forage in a short period of time for the summer months. Their productivity thrives in heat, moisture, and fertility. This is a low- cost crop that can be grazed or used for silage or balage. Sorghum sudangrass is useful as a part of a double crop program, to thicken alfalfa fields that are thinning, or to rotate out weak or undesirable pasture. Seed only after soils have warmed above 60°F and are predicted to stay above 60° (around June 1).

CAUTION: Sorghum and Sudan products may contain prussic acid which is toxic when present. Do not graze these crops prior to recommended heights or after frost. After frost, livestock must be kept off until leaves have dried. Nitrates can also be toxic under excessive fertility and immediately after a drought stressed crop receives rainfall.
