Grasses

A very nutritious forage, from the sedge family that is good for turkeys, helping keep hens in good breeding condition.

A tall grass that produces a significant amount of seeds late in the summer while providing grazeable forage early in the season.

Wildlife grain sorghum is excellent for attracting upland game birds. It is not for commercial production.

A short millet best for attracting birds or for a one cut system.

A millet that can be used for forage or summer cover crop. It does better in wet soils than many of the other summer annuals. Fast growth and a fibrous root system makes it an excellent cover crop. It has a finer stem than pearl millet and sorghum and makes high quality forage for grazing or hay.

Proso millet is one of the most drought tolerant and cost effective annual grasses. It is the shortest growing millet though it grows taller in the northern plains than it might in the central or southern plains. Heading out in less than 60 days, this is a great plant for game bird mixes.
