Watch this video to learn about this heat and drought tolerant cover crop, that is fast growing, produces a tremendous about of biomass, and contributes to soil organic matter.

Those once are looking good
Very informative
What variety of Sorghum Sudan Grass did you use and what was the drill rate?
Can you cut at, say, 3 feet high and bale that for feed and get another cut off of the field later in the season?
Is there a difference in quality between the first second and third cuttings? Thanks great video
Shelly, sorry for the delayed response but what I have observed is that the second cutting grows very quick. The amount of biomass generated in the second cutting is slightly higher than the first
Can be used for feeding what animals. Dairy ,beef sheep etc
Hi, i m from Lao PDR ,thank you for sharing ,i would like to plant Sudan grass please tell me how to do i have grain of Sudan of Vietnam from Agriculture shop
Hello, you might have to check with your local seed distributor to see if sorghum sudangrass is available
Ajay, How do you kill it? till or freeze? It looks like there are a lot of seeds on that grass..
Joe,
Since it is a summer cover crop, it winter killed in Iowa.
From what I have read about it. U cut it when it gets to a certain height before it seeds and it re grows with a stronger root system to cut deep threw the ground
Hi Joe, I have tried both. If I seed in early fall then I let the winter take care of the kill. If seeded in summer, I flail now and then till it under
When does this done as a cover crop is it just tilled under?
How much water required for one acre
Can this be used to feed animals or as with regular sorghum cannot be used to make syrup sorghum syrup? Thank you
Cover crops were used by the old timer.sMy great grandfather used red clover and then manure as fertilize.That’s all they had before chemicals.apparently it’s now coming back because it works
do you use a regular mower or a flail mower each time you mow it?
Hi Patrick, a flail mower is what I have used. Given the amount of biomass, a flail mower would be required
thanks for your reply !
Does it need to be seeded at 45lbs/acre if you want to keep it mowed down for getting organic matter into the soil ,as I'm told it regrows a big root system each time you mow it?
Hello I'am interested to cultive this forrage in my countries East Timor 🇹🇱
