Suwanee cowpea variety boosts Florida hay yields
The Suwanee, a new cowpea hay variety from the State Experiment Station and USDA, yields 25 to 50 percent more hay and preserves foliage longer for late cutting. Extension plans include 1,000 free seed samples for Florida farmers to test, with requests directed to the Gainesville Experiment Station. The variety, named for the Suwanee River, has been tested since 1928 in Gainesville and other stations, outperforming Iron Brabham Clay Red River and Whippoorwill in hay production.
