Sorghum as emergency forage amid Iowa hay shortage
Iowa faces a failing hay crop but agronomist H D Hughes advises sowing sorghum now on oat or wheat stubble, preferably before August 1, to produce 2 to 3 feet tall plants yielding 1.46 to 2.5 tons per acre. Sorghum resists drought, stores well, and can be cut like timothy, either fed green or cured in cocks or barns for winter feed.
