Grasses
Proso Millet (White)
Proso millet is one of the most drought tolerant and cost effective annual grasses. It is the shortest growing millet though it grows taller in the northern plains than it might in the central or southern plains. Heading out in less than 60 days, this is a great plant for game bird mixes.

Grain Sorghum (Food Plot)
Grain sorghum provides an excellent opportunity for feeding wildlife. The grain heads, which mature in late summer to early fall will attract the wildlife species and provide superior nutrition. Grain sorghum is an excellent option for upland birds in particular.

Japanese Millet
Japanese millet, known for its quick maturity, usually offers a lower forage yield compared to other millet varieties. However, it stands out for its superior post-maturity palatability when compared to foxtail millet and its impressive regrowth capabilities. Additionally, Japanese millet exhibits remarkable resilience to waterlogged soils, thriving even in standing water, making it a valuable choice for enhancing duck habitat and nourishment in food plots.

Brown Top Millet
With extremely rapid growth, browntop millet can fill narrow growing windows to produce a nice quality forage. Under ideal conditions seed will germination within 5 days and forage or seed will be ready to harvest within two months time. Very fine stems and leaves allows plant material to dry down effectively for dry hay production. Browntop millet is an effective nurse crop, much like oats, in stabilizing erosive hill slopes and providing cover for slower growing target species to become established. Research has shown browntop helps to suppress root-knot nematode within the soil. This species is very inexpensive, providing a full stand for less than $15 an acre. With the ability to easily reseed and that seed to remain viable in the soil profile for years, makes browntop millet an excellent regenerating food plot for wildlife.

Forage Sorghum (Coes)
Coes is a dual purpose sorghum developed in the arid, high plains of eastern Colorado. It is a cost effective addition to a warm season grazing or hay mix but can also be used in wildlife mixes since it will produce seed heads after about 60 days. This is a short to medium statured forage sorghum and has very good drought tolerance.

Sudangrass (Piper)
Sudangrass is a super fast growing, fine stemmed warm season annual grass. If summer weed suppression was the goal, this would be one of the best species to accomplish that. Sudangrass is commonly crossed with sorghum to make sorghum-sudan which Takes the fast, tall growing, fine stemmed traits of sudangrass and combines it with the wider leaf and oftentimes higher forage quality of sorghum. For the best grazing digestibility, a BMR (brown midrib) sorghum sudan is usually used which has less lignin.

Sorghum Sudan (Super Cover)
Super Cover is an excellent sorghum sudan for anybody looking for a high carbon, warm season grass to help prevent erosion, build soil, and even catch snow if left through the winter.

Pearl Millet (Exceed BMR)
Pearl millet is among the best grazing or haying millet varieties. Exceed BMR Pearl Millet also offers the BMR trait allowing the animal to better digest the plant for optimal nutritional efficiency to the animal. Pearl millet is very adaptable to its growing environment with great tillering allowing for more forage and better ground coverage with less seed.

Sorghum Sudan (Endurance Aphid Tolerant BMR Dwarf)
Endurance aphid tolerant BMR dwarf sorghum sudan is bred for short stature and high digestibility. Don't mistake shorter stature for less biomass, though. The dwarf trait simply shortens the length in between the leaves, called the internode length, while still growing the same number of leaves. The shorter plant makes it easier for livestock to graze and utilize efficiently.

Foxtail Millet (White Wonder)
White wonder foxtail millet is used primarily for hay production. The stem is not as fine as Golden German Millet but it will get taller in height, approximately three feet, given adequate moisture. Expect to cut hay in approximately 50-55 days after planting. Windrow when heads begin emerging from the boot. Foxtail millet is also a great addition to summer grazing or wildlife mixes.

German Millet (Golden)
German millet is a warm season grass that can be planted earlier than sorghum sudan or pearl millet. Though it is not as productive as the aforementioned grasses, german millet makes a cost effective hay crop, ready for cutting about 55-60 days after planting. It does not have good regrowth which lends itself well to establishing the next crop without lingering competition after haying occurs.

Sorghum Sudan (SolarMaxx PPS)
SolarMaxx is a photoperiod sensitive sorghum sudangrass designed to be used in both diverse cover crop mixes as well as for forage production. The photoperiod sensitivity is an increased benefit to anyone who wants to have a full season plant with multi harvest possibilities. Photoperiod sensitivity means that the plant will not go reproductive until the daytime hours get to 12 hours and 20 minutes. The flexibility of that genetics gives the producer time to either react to making a harvest, or allow time for moisture to come and allow the plant to grow again. Being such a late time for seedhead emergence the threat ofvolunteer seed is basically zero.

Sorghum Sudan (Cattle Cover BMR MS)
Cattle Cover offers game-changing combination of agronomics and yield. High digestibility, great palatability, and strong disease package for overall good producibility. First-in-class sugarcane aphid tolerance. Agronomics and maturity makes it a strong hybrid for hay production and grazing. Being a male sterile it can be used where you do not want the possibility of volunteering.

Sorghum Sudan (Short King BMR Dwarf PPS)
Short King BMR Dwarf PPS Hybrid Sorghum Sudan is an excellent option for people south of I-70 and in dry climates due to its superior drought tolerance and aphid resistance. This sorghum sudan can be used for hay production or grazing. It will maintain dwarf stature until the photoperiod sensitivity is triggered, usually mid-September.

Teff Grass (HayMaker)
Teff makes a very palatable hay and is well accepted by all livestock types. Teff can be difficult to establish. It has a very tiny seed, much smaller than an alfalfa seed. It must be planted very shallow, about one-eighth of an inch deep, or seedlings will not emerge. Seedlings also need a week or so of moist soil to become established well enough to survive. This shouldn't be a problem with irrigation.

Forage Sorghum (Sweet Cane Max MS)
Sweet Cane Max is a medium maturity male sterile, forage sorghum. This hybrid fits well in a high-quality forage production or grazing operations. It has superior standability to other hybrids. Sweet Cane should be used in single cutting/grazing or winter grazing scenarios. When drying conditions are favorable it can be used for hay. Usually it is cut once the plant has headed out for highest sugar content or used for winter stockpile grazing. Sweet Cane will not produce grain unless pollinated with other sorghums, so isolation is recommended to protect sterility.

Grazing Popcorn (Non-GMO)
This Non-GMO Grazing Popcorn is an excellent product for summer and fall grazing mixes as well as stockpile grazing mixes. Because corn tolerates cooler nights better than sorghum products, this is a great option for late summer planted grazing mixes. This seed is quite a bit smaller than the BMR corns so it stays in mixes and goes through a drill better than the larger BMR corn. While it doesn't contain the BMR trait which contributes to palatability, it is a better grazing corn compared to regular field corn and it will stand through the winter better than the BMR varieties.

Sorghum Sudan (506x51 BMR Dwarf)
506x51 is a brachytic dwarf BMR sorghum sudangrass with a longer maturity than standard sorghum sudan hybrids. The 506x51 has a high tillering genetics that will help with filling in row spaces when planting at wider rows. This is also a benefit when grazing as once the plant is consumed the plant will stool. The delayed maturity benefit to this variety also pairs it nicely with longer season cover mixes that could be stock piled. The leaf to stem ratio is very attractive for a hay harvest planning as well.

German Millet (Strain R)
German millet is a warm season grass that can be planted earlier than sorghum sudan or pearl millet. Though it is not as productive as the aforementioned grasses, german millet makes a cost effective hay crop, ready for cutting about 55-60 days after planting. It does not have good regrowth which lends itself well to establishing the next crop without lingering competition after haying occurs.
