County agents urge forage seed choices for farms
County agents advised购买 sudangrass and sudan sorghum hybrids for summer forage. Hybrids are recommended for green chop or silage, Piper sudangrass for pasture or hay. Field trials in Westmoreland Centre and Lancaster counties in 1964 showed hybrids out yield Piper by about 38 percent for silage and green chop. Sweet Sioux hybrid produced over 5.5 tons dry matter per acre at heading, vs 3 tons for Piper sudangrass.
