Question
Dr. Woods,

Do you have any experience with some of the new high sugar grasses and how well they hold up in smaller food plots?

Randy,

Years ago I did some testing with Brown Mid Rib grasses.  Deer will consume these sorghum x sudan crosses when planted in arid areas such as west Texas.  However, deer didn’t accept them readily when I planted them outside of west Texas where there were more forage options.  I haven’t tried any of the new varieties, but suspect that the results would be similar.

Growing Deer together,
