The grass has super palatability, high protein content relative to nitrogen inputs, and relatively high digestibility which makes it excellent for grazing as a high quality, leafy, fine stem hay. It is essentially a nontoxic forage and has excellent reseeding ability.

Red River crabgrass can be used as single crop forage as well as a mixture in Sudangrass, Alfalfa, Bermudagrass, Perennial grass plantings and other summer forages.
