FlexiGraze®

FORAGE SORGHUM
: Sorghum x Sudan x Sudan

FlexiGraze® is an ultra-late flowering sorghum × Sudan × Sudan hybrid, offering exceptional flexibility for both hay production and easy grazing. Its fine stems and high leaf-to-stem ratio deliver excellent feed quality, while photoperiod sensitivity extends the growing period before flowering. This allows FlexiGraze® to hold quality late into the season, giving you more ‘flexibility’ for timing harvest or grazing.
