They are grown primarily for the harvesting of mature grains which are used or processed into staple food and animal feed.They are also processed into various products such as starch, malt, biofuel (alcohol) and sweetener (i.e., high fructose corn syrup). Sudan grass is suited to areas with a hot growing season; it This is a long-domesticated grass, very developed in the USA as a fodder from Sudan material.
