HP 101 BMR is a Brown Midrib hybrid Forage Sorghum type. The lignin content of the stem has been dramatically reduced which significantly improves digestibility by 40 percent over conventional forage sorghums. This improvement in digestibility allows HP 101 BMR to equal the milk production of corn. The reduced lignin content of the HP 101 BMR stems makes it more prone to lodging than conventional forage sorghums. Because of these weaker stems, HP 101 BMR should be planted at the recommended rates for your area and harvest should be done on time. The water requirement is 1/3 less than that required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. This high water use efficiency of HP 101 BMR makes it ideally suited where water is a major yield-limiting factor.

     The next generation of BMR Forage Sorghums, is an male sterile plant, with no pollen source nearby the HP 1010 will be sterile. With no grain the plant does not cannibalize the stalk. This means it will have a higher energy content than other BMR Hybrids. Improved standability when compared to earlier BMR Hybrids. The lignin content of the stem has been dramatically reduced which significantly improves digestibility by 40 percent over conventional forage sorghums. This improvement in digestibility allows HP 1010 BMR to equal the milk production of corn. The water requirement of HP 1010 BMR is 1/3 less than that required to produce an equivalent amount of corn. This high water use efficiency of HP 1010 BMR makes it ideally suited where water is a major yield-limiting factor.

     Exceptional palatability and the addition of a Brown Midrib gene has shown marked reduction of lignin content in the plant. Offers a premium summer annual hybrid with the Photoperiod sensitive trait. This trait gives you a wide window of harvest and consistent quality over the entire growing season – plus the increased utilization and efficiency you get from the Brown Midrib gene. This totally new hybrid has shown an 18% to 20% average increase in feed value compared to conventionals and offers an additional $418.00 dollars per acre based on feed at $60.00 per ton. This double stack technology has elevated HP 300 BMR PPS as the premier forage on the market.

     HP 3030 DW BMR has exceptional palatability and digestibility. The addition of a Brown Midrib gene has shown marked reduction of lignin content in the plant. This new hybrid has shown an increase in feed value compared to conventionals. The ability to quickly emerge, regrow and tolerate heat and drought makes HP 3030 a durable product in many different environments. It offers a premium summer annual hybrid with similar agronomic characteristics you will find in a conventional sorghum-sudangrass hybrids such as excellent hay quality, heavy pasturing, plus the increased utilization and efficiency you get from the Brown Midrib gene.

     HP Kane-n-Honey Sorghum Sudan has medium maturity and is a sterile hybrid. This cane-type forage has lush green broad leaves and sugar sweet stalks that livestock relish. The sterility of the Kane-n-Honey eliminates the hazards of volunteer regrowth, however, nearby fertile sorghums can pollinate Kane-N-Honey. A minimum isolation distance of one mile is recommended to protect the sterility. Stalk size can be varied with population, for larger stalks use lower plant populations, and for finer stems use high seeding rates.

     New improved premium forage product selected for its high productivity, exceptional sweetness and improved forage quality. The leaves tend to be wider and longer than most conventional sorghum-sudans on the market. The stems are fine, sweet, very juicy and highly nutritious. This combination promotes greater intake, improved digestibility and increased animal performance in beef and dairy cows. Exceptional heat and drought stress tolerance very fast re-growth after cutting and improved plant health and disease tolerance for optimum forage production in a standard product.
