Yes, it keeps coming back. It is by nature a grass which means that so long as it never makes a seed head it keeps growing till frost.
The timing of each cutting is determined in theory by timing to achieve the best quality forage but in real life a guy cuts it when there is enough sunny days in the forecast to get it down and back up without a rain shower. It becomes stemmy if not cut at the appropriate time.
The number of cuttings is determined by how early it is planted, ambient temperature, rainfall and the capacity of your soil. Most folks are able to get three cuttings. It will make some serious tonnage.
Like corn, nitrates can be high during droughty times with sudan.
I've never known anyone to put it up as wet hay, but if cut at the appropriate time I would think it would be suitable and based on it's difficulty in drying, might be a good plan.
One of my work cohorts prefers an oat/crimson clover mix for his wet hay over sorghum-sudan because of it's higher protein content but obviously the tonnage of the sorghum sudan would surpass the oat/crimson by a good deal... Just another thought if you are looking for a quality forage and have access to a silage roller and a wrap machine.
