Show VALUE OF SUDAN GRASS CROP Nebraska Experiment Station Not Satisfied Sat-isfied It Is Superior to Sorghum as Stock Feed. The results of three years have not proved at the North Platte, Ne braska experimental substation that Sudan grass is superior to sorghum, but later tests under different weath er conditions may give results more favorable to sudan grass. It is lauded as a dryland crop but may, like brome grass, prove a humid or subhumld crop rather than a Bemiarid crop. The feeding value per ton seems tc be about the same as sorghum or 'pral rie hay. As the Sudan grass stems are fine and rather leafy there may nol be as much waste as in feeding sorghum. On the other hand, the stems of tile sudan grass seem very dry and somewhat pithy, and possibly are not relished as much as the stems of sorghum. |
