Sudan Grass for Fodder in Irrigated Areas
Reports from the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area describe Sudan grass yielding heavy crops under irrigation. Settlers sold grazing rights, with one 19 acre paddock carrying cattle and horses, expecting gains well over a ton of hay per acre. Trials across Farm 351, 367, and Barker’s property show promising yields, with best cuttings yielding 18 cwt per acre. Seed price around 3d per lb sparks optimism for expanding plantings if costs remain moderate.
