Tall-growing, vigorous, warm-season annual legume with tremendous biomass potential. Superior N-Fixing potential. Quick growing & loves heat, very drought tolerant. Has potential to put on 5,000 lbs biomass in as little as 60 days. Widely adapted to varied soil types including droughty sands, low fertility, and low OM soils. Plant after soil temperatures are above 65°F and until mid-summer. The leaves are a very high protein. Close to 20%. When plants have achieved a sufficient height you can let your animals in to graze. When the leaves are all picked off, remove the animals and allow the Sunn Hemp to regrow. Should take about 2-3 weeks to get new leaves. Then animals can be let in to graze a second time. Terminate crop at first flower to avoid development of fibrous, hard to manage stalks.

Plant at 15 - 20 lbs/acre straight, 4 - 8 lbs/acre in a mix
