Sudan for Summer Pasture

University of Minnesota

Abstract

One of the most important of the pasture problems on Minnesota farms is the problem of providing a suitable pasture for the two months of July and August. Sweet clover has been used extensively for this purpose during the last few years. More recently Sudan is coming into increased use with each succeeding year. Sudan has been grown and pastured in sufficient acreages by the Minnesota Experiment Station during each of the last three years to justify several conclusions as to, its value as a summer pasture in this region. In 1935, a ten-acre field was grown and pastured and in 1936 and 1937, twenty acres each year.

Each year, the Sudan was seeded about May twentieth with a grain drill at the rate of thirty pounds of seed per acre. Each year, a growth eighteen to twenty inches in height was ready to be pastured beginning July fifth to tenth.
