Native to Asia, white proso millet is a warm-season, short-lived, annual bunchgrass. It is used primarily as a grain crop, but also as an emergency forage or hay crop when primary crops have failed. This is due to the fact that it can be planted later in the year during hot conditions, and it reaches maturity at 60 to 75 days. White proso millet is often used for food plots, especially for birds like quails, turkeys, ducks, and doves. Very drought-tolerant and can be used for erosion control.
Scientific Name: Panicum miliaceum
