Surplus Sudan Grass Advice For Frederick County Farms
Maryland agronomist notes that 1963 plantings of Sudan Grass and Sudan Sorghum Crosses in Frederick County create temporary surpluses. Early planting and good moisture yield hay or silage, but curing is hard in hay. Recommend cutting at 3 to 4 feet, with best first cutting at 5 to 6 feet but difficult to cure. Wilting and windrow issues noted. 200 pounds of barley or corn and cob can improve silage quality and reduce runoff.
