What if there’s a drought?
Recent rains have eased drought concerns in the Southeast, but farmers should remain prepared for sudden dry spells with solid grazing and feed strategies. Diverse pastures and summer annuals like sorghum-sudangrass and pearl millet offer resilience when conditions shift.
Warm Season Annuals
When managed properly, summer annuals can produce substantial, high quality forage in the span of 90-120 days. This is often harvested in 1-4 substantial cuts or grazings of high energy forage. Time to first harvest for multicut annuals is generally 45-60 days, depending on weather conditions.
