Warm-season annuals or summer annual grasses such as sorghum, sudangrass and sorghum-sudangrass hybrids grow best in Nebraska when soil temperatures are about 60°F (usually in late May to early June). In contrast, pearl millet, foxtail millet and teff grass seeding dates are usually delayed until June or possibly July when soil temperatures are consistently above 65 degrees.
