This variety features a newer trait in sorghum-sudangrass hybrids. Features a delayed maturity trait which gives you more time to harvest a highly nutritious crop or additional days of grazing. Can be left to grow for an extra 25 to 30 days which will increase the yield while maintaining quality. Sweet stems and an increased leaf to stem ratio for a quality feed. Has quick regrowth for multiple cuttings but in some cases has been harvested just one time instead of the normal 2 cuttings for the Virginia area. An option for green manure production to build organic matter.
