Super Sugar 
(Sorgo Sorghum-Sudangrass)

Super Sugar is a high yielding conventional forage grass best used for hay, grazing, greenchop, or cover crop. Thin sweet stems make it highly palatable with stem sugar ranging from 12-16%. Planting higher populations will result in finer stems, finer stems dry quicker producing higher quality hay. The improved drought tolerant genetics allow Super Sugar to yield even under dry conditions. Recovery following a drought is excellent, but always test the forage for prussic acid prior to feeding to any animal. Yield trial results are below.

Additional Characteristics:
  • Excellent double crop option low inputs
  • Good late season cover crop 
  • Anthracnose & Downy mildew resistant
  • Water requirement - very low
  • Early season vigor - excellent
  • First cutting in 50-55 days
  • Second cutting in 25-30 days
  • Harvest at 40-50 inches or when crop is in the boot stage
