[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1637962, member: 27848"] Grasses like sorghum-sudans and JG need a decent stubble to return to the growth mode after clipping (by grazing or mechanical means). Grasses are in the growth stage, once the "growth soil temperature" is reached continuing until they enter the boot stage....bulges forming on stems containing seed pods. At that point they quit growing and start the maturing process. Subsequent clipping, at the boot stage preferably, maximizes the available plant matter and resets the plant to the growth mode. Per what I have read including the TAMU agricultural research centers at Renner and Overton, Tx. You can prove it to yourself. Just get 2 plants and measure the height and digestible matter and record the date. Clip one at 4" minimum and let the other mature....adjacent plants would be most reliable for level playing field....monitor as desired. [/QUOTE]
