Switch Plans For Planting Switch Plans For Planting
Farmers shift focus from corn to hay crops and sorghum sudangrass hybrids due to the backward planting season. With moisture ample, 60 to 65 degree soil favors a high yielding short season crop. Drill 35 to 40 pounds of seed per acre after corn planting or after rain for 2 to 3 tons per acre in 5 to 6 weeks and leave 6 to 8 inches of stubble for regrowth. The crop suits chopping and dry lot feeding.
