Millet is another forage crop alternative, mainly sown late spring when soil temperatures are very high and there has been good summer rainfall.

It can be grazed within 6 weeks of emergence depending on rainfall; it is palatable to sheep and cattle and is completely free of prussic acid, which occurs in forage sorghums. It is not very drought tolerant and will quickly run to seed under moisture stress or cold temperatures. Soil temperature requirement at is sowing is 14-16 degrees.
