This summer annual member of the grass family resembles corn, but it is more drought and heat tolerant. It is extremely productive, grows to 8 or 9 feet and yields 5000-10,000 lb/acre dry matter within three months of planting. It is the perfect crop to grow when large amounts of carbon-rich material are needed for your compost pile. Non-legume. Plant at 25-50 lb/acre or .6-1.2 lb/1000 sq.ft.
