Annual Forage Crops

Farmers might consider annual forage production to supplement perennial pasture forages, or as a source of feed with moderate levels of protein in an emergency situation, e.g. delayed planting due to weather.

Some organic dairies might also consider BMR sorghum sudan hybrids as a rotation crop to break up pest cycles and provide a crop with moderate levels of energy.
