Japanese and Shirohie millets are quick to establish highly productive summer forages for dairy, beef, sheep & silage, with dry matter yields between 8-12 tonne/ha. The tall leafy grass with a thin stem grows to around 1.5m in height

Millet, a low cost option for summer feed, is a safe forage for your animals—containing no prussic acid (HCN) and does not require supplementation with sulphur or salt blocks. Compared with forage sorghum, temperate Millets can be sown earlier and will grow into late summer/early autumn. Millet is great for your pasture renovation program.
