High Sugar Grasses For Food Plots
Filed under: Ask Grant, Food Plots
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,
Grant
