How to maximize quality forage production

This year, spring came around without much hesitation, bringing with it some welcome moisture. However, drought conditions the last couple years left some considerable scars on the land. The Stockton Seed House has been busy moving seed out the door for both lawns and pastures and a common question we’ve been seeing is how to maximize forage production and quality on years where little rainfall and high temperatures wipe out any grass available.

This is where summer annuals have a major advantage. One of our favorite and most popular is Cow-Pro Honeycomb Sorghum Sudangrass.

Honeycomb Hybrid Sorgo Sudangrass is a three-way cross: Hybrid Sorg-Sorghum X Sudangrass. The sorgo cross reduces the stem size and brings about its sweet juiciness. Honeycomb Sorghum Sudangrass has uniform growth with very broad, dark green leaves. It’s excellent root system provides standability and drought tolerance. Exceptional seedling vigor and fast regrowth provide multiple cuttings or continuous summer pasture. With adequate rainfall, producers can expect to cut every 30 days until frost kill.
