Joe, It's a noxious weed here and its illegal to sell the seed here as far as I know. However, the Johnson grass dosen't read the laws and spreads whenever it can. It does make good hay if cut at the right stage, which is before it makes seed. After it makes seed the stems are tough and cows don't clean it up too well. To get rid of Johnson grass put cows on it from frost to frost. One year will get rid of most of it but some will come back from seed in the ground. Grazing for 5 years will get rid of it. Johnson grass also come back from the roots called rhizones, but grazing will starve out the roots. Regular mowing as in a yard will get rid of it also.
As dry as it has been this year, I'm not in a position to be choosey about hay. Sure would like some Sericea like John M described.
