Also called Billion Dollar Grass, it grows explosively once soils warm, building heavy biomass (lots of plant material) and high-energy grain in a short 60–90 day season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eIts standout trait is moisture: almost uniquely among summer grasses, it thrives in wet, heavy, and poorly drained soils where other crops drown — which is why it’s a favorite for marsh edges, wetland buffers, and managed impoundments (controlled, flooded wetland areas). The nutrient-dense grain is a heavy draw for ducks, geese, and gamebirds, and at 3–5 feet tall the stand doubles as wildlife cover. For livestock it makes palatable summer grazing and “green-chop” (freshly cut forage fed to animals).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0in 2.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -13.5pt;
