AZ is a big producer of hay to be fed to animals, so I would say some sort of grass intended to be harvested for hay.

Usually grass for hay is Timothy for horses. That isn't Timothy.
My first guess is Winter Wheat and it's growing west of Phoenix near Waddell.
Mike....watching Lake Mead drop. ;-)

From what I can see, it looks like sudan grass.

edit to add: Hybrid sorghum-sudan hay is also grown in Arizona. I think the blades of the hybrid are a bit wider in comparison, but I am not certain.

odds are.. your local county Ag or extension office.. probably knows what grass crops are generally grown locally ... i grew up suburban.. and moved rural.. these farmer types know what EVERYBODY is growing.. lol ... i think it some kind of cult ... lol ...

I spent a coupla years on a farm near Spokane, Wa. when I was a teenager that grew wheat. It's about all I could see looking out the windows.....that, and a barn. ;-)

Looks like wheat ... it's a big winter crop in the low desert.

Might be, but unlikely, sorghum for silage.

That photo should probably be rotated 90 degrees to the right. In any case, winter wheat is a row crop, and I see no evidence of rows in the photo.
