Large, semi-compact heads on leafy stalks that grow 5-7 feet tall.
Excellent drought tolerance and standability.
Performs especially well when planted late.
Top choice for dairymen or other feeders seeking high-energy silage.
Ton-A-Milk
Medium
Delivers an exceptional grain-to-stover ratio.
Excellent standability, drought tolerance, and good disease protection make this a must-plant forage.
Gets taller when planted late for maximum flexibility.
T-E Goldmaker S
Medium
Versatile cane cross that can be used for hay, grazing, or as a cover crop.
Male sterile allows the sugars to stay in the stalk for higher energy content and exceptional palatability.
When used for hay, plant at 50-100 pounds per acre and be sure to use a conditioner.
For maximum combination of yield and digestability, cut at three to four feet of growth.

Ratings based on the average performance of a hybrid grown over a wide range of climate and soil types within its adapted maturity under normal growing conditions. Extreme conditions may adversely affect performance. Consult your local Golden Acres Genetics representative for specific product recommendations.
Prussic Acid is harmful to livestock. Sorghum and sorghum sudangrass hybrids will develop prussic acid under certain circumstances. Very young plants recovering from drought, and plants suffering fromn a killing frost should not be grazed. Do not feed horses green foliage of sorghum sudangrass hybrids, because horses may develop cystitis if permitted to graze or feed on this food source.
