Millet
Millet is a warm season annual, similar to sorghum sudangrass, with no prussic acid. Dry matter production is approximately 20% less than sorghum sudangrass, with better digestibility and protein. Millet needs a soil temp of 65 degrees F or more before planting. Millet will do better than sorghum sudangrass in wetter years. Good for grazing, silage or balage.

Wonderleaf Millet
This is a warm season annual, similar to Sudangrass, with no prussic acid. Dry matter production 20 percent less than Sudangrass with better digestibility and protein. Millet has smaller seeds, thus a lower seeding rate. It needs a soil temperature of 65 degrees or more to germinate, and growth slows down when cool weather comes (September). Frost kills it, but it can still be grazed with no fear of prussic acid. It needs good seed-to-soil contract and it’s not as competitive with existing grass as Sudangrass. Like Sudan, it can use lots of Nitrogen. Wonderleaf will grow a little bushier and not as tall as Sudan. Start grazing at 12 inches, but make sure the roots are not being pulled up. It should not be allowed to grow taller than 3 feet (or it will lose palatability), and do not graze lower than 6 inches to allow better regrowth. 50 lb. bag. Seeding rate 25-30 lbs/acre.Advanta US - This product is supplied by Advanta, the world leader in forage sorghum genetics.
