Getting it dry will be your biggest challenge. We plant quite a bit and chop it for silage to feed dairy heifers. We try and cut it 45-60 days after seeding. The sooner you cut it, the higher energy content, lower yield, and easier it will be to get dry. But you will need a few nice days to get it dry, especially with the humidity we have in the summer months. Sorghum sudangrass loves manure. Fields that get fertilized with manure have always outyielded conventional fertilized fields for us.
