It has high resistance against disease and shattering of seed. Sudan is a fine stemmed 
member of the cane family that stools freely. It makes wonderful hay, but it is not

very much like ordinary Sudan, stools even more freely and grows taller. The leaves

We do know that regular Sudan will produce 
Sweet Sudan with its free stooling, taller growth 
and broader leaves, should outyield it at least 30%. 
A Palatable Fast Growing Crop for Pasture or Hay 
You-should not plant this crop until the ground is thoroughly warm, 
around corn planting time. Plant it on a seed bed about like you would 
prepare for corn. The seed will then Serminate rapidly if you have warm 
weather and a warm seed bed. It Srows very fast. Sweet Sudan should Zive 
you 2 or 3 cuttings of hay the same year you sow it. It does not have to be 
cut at any definite period. If farm work interferes you can let it stand and 
cut it later. Even when you let the crop stand for seed, it still makes good 
feed. It has a delicious flavor, high feeding value, and that with big yields 
gives you a combination that is hard to beat.

is eaten alright, but not with the relish of Sweet Sudan which they eat 
close to the ground. A crop that will yield over 10 tons of hay per acre 
carrying capacity as a pasture. You can pasture it just as safely 
as the regular Sudan according to all reports we have.

A Fast Growing Crop That Is Widely Adapted 
Sudan grass belongs to the Cane family, but it is finer 
stemmed and a free stooler. It grows from 4 to 7 feet high. 
It will yield 4 to 7 tons of cured hay per acre. It has good 
feeding value. Livestock is very fond of Sudan. The first See No. 230

corn planting time or just a little after, which will indicate 
how quickly you could get a valuable feed crop. Sudan is 
one of the best drouth resisting grasses known. It stands a ; 
lot of heat. It supplies an abundance of fine pasture or hay during the 
dry months of summer when feed is often scarce. Since it yields so 
heavily you do not have to devote many acres to get a lot of feed from 
Sudan grass. It provides feed insurance, that is why every.farm should 
have some of either the regular or Sweet Sudan.

How to 
Handle Sudan Grass 
Do not sow until corn planting 
time or after. Prepare a good seed bed 
like that for Corn. Drill in close rows or broadcast. 
Cover the seed about an inch deep. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per 
acre. Begin pasturing it when it is about 8 inches high. It 
can be pastured until frost. Many consider it best not to 
pasture Sudan after frost as there is some danger of prussic 
acid developing while it is in a dying condition. Any growth 
there may be at that time can be used for hay and silage to 
be fed later. Generally cut for hay when in bloom, but can 
be cut earlier or later.
