Brown Top Millet

Browntop millet is an annual, warm-season grass that is widely cultivated in Asia, Africa, and the Americas for its edible grain, animal forage, and seed for wildlife. The grain is eaten by a variety of birds, including doves, sparrows, finches, and quail as well as small mammals such as mice and squirrels. In addition, the plant provides cover and nesting habitat for ground-nesting birds such as quails and pheasants. Browntop millet is often used as a component in wildlife food plots or mixed with other seeds to create a diverse food source for wildlife. The plant's ability to grow in a range of soil types and climates also makes it a versatile option for providing food and cover for wildlife in different regions.
