Sudan Grass Helps Iowa Pasture Against Summer Drought
Iowa dairy farmers gain a practical pasture option with Sudan grass from the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. Planted after corn planting time, 16 to 20 pounds per acre, it yields abundant forage in about 30 days, regrows after partial grazing, and can be used as hay or mixed with alfalfa for winter feed. An acre sustains a cow for two months, with potential yields ranging from one and a half to three tons per acre for hay.
