Â
At Jack Seed & Supply, we carry proven forage sorghum hybrids from trusted seed companies, helping producers select the right variety based on their forage needs, irrigation program, and production goals.
Conventional Forage Sorghum
Conventional forage sorghum hybrids offer dependable performance, excellent biomass production, and outstanding forage quality. These hybrids are well-suited for livestock operations looking to maximize tonnage while maintaining a reliable and economical forage crop.
Herbicide-Tolerant Forage Sorghum
Herbicide-tolerant forage sorghum provides additional flexibility for weed management without sacrificing forage yield. These hybrids help producers maintain cleaner fields while producing high-quality forage for silage, hay, or green chop.
Dryland Forage Sorghum
When rainfall is limited, forage sorghum continues to be one of the most dependable forage crops available. Its excellent drought tolerance and efficient water use make it a popular choice for dryland acres throughout the High Plains.
Irrigated Forage Sorghum
Under irrigation, forage sorghum can produce exceptional tonnage while requiring less water than many traditional forage crops. We offer hybrids selected for high-yield silage production and season-long performance under both full and limited irrigation.
Silage & High-Tonnage Hybrids
Whether you’re filling a silage pit, feeding dairy cattle, or producing forage for beef operations, we carry forage sorghum hybrids selected for outstanding biomass production, digestibility, standability, and overall forage quality.
Choosing the Right Forage Sorghum Hybrid
Selecting the right forage sorghum depends on your harvest method, irrigation availability, planting date, livestock needs, and expected yield goals. Our team works with producers to recommend hybrids that match local growing conditions and forage objectives.
