The Department of Agriculture notes that the 1934 Sudan grass seed crop was about half the usual, with minimal carryover. To meet 1935 planting needs, imports of nearly 3 million pounds have risen since July 1934, mainly from Australia and Argentina with some from Hungary and Morocco. Seed from Australia, Argentina, and New Zealand is viewed as satisfactory, while data on other countries is limited.
