	Proso Millet in North Dakota
		Pearl millet is used extensively in the southeastern United States as a forage crop and Japanese millet, a close relative of barnyardgrass, is sometimes grown for forage.
		Proso millet, also called proso, grain millet or hog millet, is grown primarily for feed grain or birdseed purposes.
		Proso millet is remarkably free from disease and insect pests.

		In the USA (The army of the United States of America; organizes and trains soldiers for land warfare) proso is mainly grown for birdfood.
		Proso is well adapted to many soil and climatic conditions; it has a short growing season, and needs little water.
		The water requirement of proso is probably the lowest of any cereal (Grass whose starchy grains are used as food: wheat; rice; rye; oats; maize; buckwheat; millet).

	Proso Millet
		Proso millet grain is used as bird and livestock feed in the United States and for livestock feed and human consumption in other countries.
		Proso millet is often planted as an emergency catch crop for situations where other crops have failed, been hailed out or were never planted due to unfavorable conditions.
		Proso is versatile in that it can be successfully grown on many soil types and is probably better adapted than most crops to “poor” land, such as land with soils having low water holding capacity and low fertility.

	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.
		Proso millet is important for bird seed in the developed countries and for food in parts of 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.

		Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) is used primarily for birdseed or livestock feed.
		Grain harvest of proso millet is accomplished by swathing when the top half of the panicles have mature seed (seed in lower half will be in the dough stage), followed by combining.
		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.

	Millet Production
		An annual grass, foxtail millet forms slender, erect, leafy stems varying in height from 1-5 ft. Seeds are borne in a spike-like, compressed panicle resembling yellow foxtail, green foxtail, or giant foxtail.
		Proso millet is grown as a grain crop for human food and is adapted to regions where spring-sown small grains are successful.
		Japanese millet is grown principally as a forage grass.

	Proso millet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proso millet, also known as common millet, broom corn, hog millet or white millet, is a species of millet that has been cultivated for thousands of years in East Asia and Russia.
		In the United States, proso is mainly grown for birdfood.
		The water requirement of proso is probably the lowest of any major cereal.

	Foods
		In no instance was it as attractive as white proso millet, but it was superior to fl striped sunflower in attracting brown-headed cowbirds and house sparrows.
		In a comparison of the performance of white proso millet with fl striped sunflower, the species that preferred the small seeds to sunflower products were, in descending order of preference, tree sparrow, song sparrow, brown-headed cowbird, dark-eyed junco, house sparrow, mourning dove, and white-throated sparrow.
		Although Japanese millet has frequently been planted in Maryland food plots to attract birds, it was much less attractive on the feeding tables than white proso millet or fl striped sunflower.

		Millet in the Great Plains is planted in the spring (usually during June) and harvested in the fall.

	Red Proso Millet
		Red proso millet is a grass seed similar to white proso millet that many wild birds enjoy and can be found in many of the wild bird seed mixes available today.
		There is another seed, red millet, used in feeding birds, but red millet is half the size of red proso millet and is more often used in birdseed mixes formulated for caged birds.
		Second, red proso millet seems attractive to more bird species in the West than white proso millet, a fact that probably contributes to the decision of packagers in the West to include more of it in their formulations.

		Proso millet is the only millet grown as a grain crop in the United States.
		Proso millet is probably grown on not more than 150,000 acres in the United States, though actual data are unavailable.
		Since proso millet will mature a grain crop in from 60 to 75 days after seeding, and is low in moisture requirement, it will produce some food or feed where other grain crops would fail.

		Proso millet is harvested when the seed in the upper half of the panicle are mature.

		White proso millet is a major ingredient in many wild bird seed mixes, but it is also wonderful to offer to birds just by itself.
