Organic Japanese Millet

• Upright, warm-season, summer annal grass that grows 3 to 5 ft tall
• Quick growth and emergence in 3-5 days under ideal growing conditions
• Tolerates wet soils prone to flooding or ponding better than other millets
• Excellent at scavenging nitrogen and preventing erosion
• Finer stems than pearl millet or sorghums, great for grazing
• Wait to plant until soil is 62 degrees Fahrenheit

Best Use: Hay, pasture, and silage. Excellent feed for cattle, horses, and sheep. No prussic acid problems.

Adaptation: Japanese millet is tolerant of wet soils and will survive standing water, but does not perform well on droughty or low fertility soils. This seed for sale is not frost-tolerant.

Management: Can be cut 2 or 3 times. Cut before heading and leave 6”of stubble for faster recovery. In a single-cut system, it can reach 5’ tall. Earlier cutting leads to higher quality, lower yields, and more drying time.

Planting Date: Mid-May to early June (soil 62°F+)

Seeding: Seed 25-35 lbs/acre ½”-1”deep
