Sweet Graze Hybrid Pearl Millet Seed delivers exceptional summer forage performance when planted after May 1st in hot growing conditions.

The drought-tolerant hybrid provides reliable grazing options even at the boot stage when plants reach just 2 feet tall, making it a versatile choice for continuous summer feeding programs.

Sweet Graze Hybrid Pearl Millet offers livestock producers a reliable solution for summer forage gaps when cool-season grasses decline in hot weather. The variety’s ability to provide quality grazing at multiple growth stages gives managers flexibility in utilization timing, whether harvesting early for tender forage or allowing full maturity for maximum tonnage. Unlike some summer annuals that require multiple cuttings, this hybrid’s poor regrowth characteristic means producers should plan for single-harvest systems or continuous grazing management to maximize the investment in each planting.
