Just experimenting with something different would be one reason. Also, sunn hemp is a legume so no need for N fertilizer whereas corn needs it. Sunn hemp might do better with hot/dry conditions (I think, not sure). Don't have to worry about coons getting the sunn hemp. Sunn hemp is very high in protein. As mentioned earlier, sunn hemp should do better with small acreage and browsing pressure.
