White Millet (Panicum miliaceum)
Ref: WMILLET
Highly recommended for its feed attributes. Millet is seldom sown on its own, however sown with maize or kale, results can be excellent. One method is to plant maize in the usual wide rows and then to drill or broadcast millet in blocks at right angles to the maize. This will ensure a steady release of birds. Sow during April and May. br>(Please note, the above picture is a Millet / Maize mixture)
