Harvesting Sudan Crau 
Sudan Grass 
Comes from the African Sudan 
Country. It belongs to the Sorghum 
family. It is more like a grass 
than a corn. May be cut often for 
hay. It laughs at drought and will 
grow vigorously without any rain 
if once started. May be broad- 
casted, 16 pounds per acre, or 
planted in rows, three pounds per 
acre if three feet apart. Four to 
six pounds if rows are 18 to 24 
inches apart. The rows should be 
as far apart as the tools available 
for cultivation will permit. See 
Price List.
