SUDAN
GRASS
Fast Growing, Hard Working
Sudan Grass (a type of Sorghum) is a warm season annual grass that is adaptive to dry, arid growing conditions. It is grown in the Southwest as an animal feed and rotation crop.
Â
High-yielding and capable of being harvested up to three times per season, Sudan Grass produces a fine-stem, soft textured grass hay with a high leaf-to-stem ratio when farmed with good practices. It can be fed directly to cattle or as part of a mixed ration, making it an excellent source of nutritional fiber. Â
