Summary
ADV S6218 brings a new approach to the sorghum-sudangrass lineup, with dry stalk for less moisture, a shorter maturity to help shorten the season and the yield potential to fit every geography. Southern environments will benefit from the advantages of dry stalk and the versatility of a grazing option as well as dry hay production. Northern and short season scenarios will find an advantage as a haylage and baleage option for high-quality, high-moisture feed.
