	Growing Millet in Montana
		Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) or Siberian millet is used primarily as a forage crop.
		Foxtail millet stems are slender and leafy, and the heads are dense and bristly.
		Because millet is mostly grown as an emergency forage during drought, performance on re-crop is a better indication of the potential of millet forage.

		Foxtail millet is the second most widely planted species of millet, and the most important in East Asia.

		Pearl millet is grown along the southern peripheries of the Sahara (i.e., the Sahelian countries and the northern parts of the coastal countries in Western Africa) and in the drier areas of Eastern and Southern Africa.

	Introduction
		Millet is a collective term referring to a number of small-seeded annual grasses that are cultivated as grain crops, primarily on marginal lands in dry areas in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions.
		Finger millet is widely produced in the cooler, higher-altitude regions of Africa and Asia both as a food crop and as a preferred input for traditional beer.
		Millets are better adapted to dry, infertile soils than most other crops, and are therefore often cultivated under extremely harsh conditions - for example, high temperatures, low and erratic precipitation, short growing seasons and acidic and infertile soils with poor water-holding capacity.

	Foxtail and Proso Millet
		Millets are thought to have been among the first cultivated crops, being one of the stable foods in central and eastern Asia (mainly in China, India, and Russia), Europe and some parts of Africa during the very early ages (Wietgrefe 1990).
		Millets are diverse enough in type that they occur in two tribes of the grass family (Rachie 1975) as shown in Table 1.
		Foxtail millet is by far the most important millet species in China and is grown in Hopei, Horank, and Shansi provinces to a large extent and in most northern areas of China (Anderson and Martin 1949).
