I've got a friend that he and I both want to try sorghum Sudan grass as a forage. Partially to help in case of a drought to have a drought tolerant, fast growing supply of quality grass. My plan is to test it on about 13ish acre field behind my house around a pond. Part of this is to have ability to shut them off it in Oct-ish with first frost and Prussic acid issue we have been warned about. Question being what's the recommended seeding rate? Guy selling it says to go 15-20lbs/acre to help not set my pasture back which is a lot of fescue. Guy going to do the no tilling says 40-50lb. Seems like a drastic difference. No till guy charges same regardless of rate, yet seed guy makes less by selling less seed per acre. Seems neither stands to gain from BSing me.
