An early maturing BMR sorghum x sudan hybrid, perfect for hay and silage

BMR Fuel^® is the perfect sorghum for silage and hay production. It offers high dry matter yields combined with the Brown Mid Rib (BMR) gene for lower lignin (indigestible fibre), therefore improving the overall quality of the crop. BMR Fuel is a better option than millet, where rotational grazing is an option due to its higher water use efficiency, making it more profitable per kilogram of dry matter produced.
