Sudangrass Sorghum

Sudangrass - grows from 4 to 7 feet tall, has leaves about 1/2 inch wide and stems about 1/4 inch in diameter. It can be harvested as pasture, green chop, hay, or silage. Yields have ranged from 3 to 5 tons/A dry matter. It can be ready for harvest as early as 45 days after planting. The smaller stems give it better drying characteristics than other sorghums for hay making. Sudangrass hybrids are available that are slightly larger and higher yielding.
