Forage sorghum "coppicing" at Pingrup, WA, Feb 2000.
I think this could be better than lucerne for water use and livestock feeding. This sorghum was seeded in October 1998 and re-grew in the Spring of 1999. You will see some miserable sunflower plants that were seeded in October 1999, but the forage sorghum ( which was dormant during the winter), out competed the sunflowers - no fertiliser was used and the site is quite sandy.
