Work was initiated in May, 1995. Information is incomplete and linkages to local or remote sites may not work but construction is being completed as fast as possible. They can also be used as an emergency forage source when production from corn and hay crops is likely to be less than adequate.
Sorghum is an upright growing grass which has been bred for both grain and forage production.
Of the two types, forage sorghum is the preferred type for forage production. Like corn, sorghum hybrids are classified into maturity classes. The forage sorghums are usually harvested only once and used for silage or green-chop production. Solid stands of sudangrass grow shorter than when seeded in rows. Sudangrass develops only fibrous roots and does not have rhizomes.
