If producers cut their forage sorghum at the right time, they can achieve good quality hay, according to James Rogers, NDSU Extension forage crops production specialist and the assistant interim director at NDSU’s North Central Research Extension Center (NCREC).

James Rogers, NDSU, has found what he calls a “gamechanger” for the sorghums.
“Prussic acid is a key challenge that can turn producers away from trying to graze sorghum-sudangrass forage varieties, but new prussic acid-free varieties may help, especially for producers who are concerned about grazing. It could be a real gamechanger for sorghums,” Rogers said. “I’ve received some prussic-acid free seed this year to try and see how it performs compared to some other types of sorghums.”
James Rogers, NCREC forage specialist and assistant interim director, shows the forage crops and other crops seeded into his cover crop display at field days last year. He plans to do the demonstration again this summer with different crops and different planting dates.
