Yellow millet
Millet grain is used to make groats and alcohol. Geneticists have recently been working on using millet to produce biofuel. Millet straw and chaff are more nutritious than the straw of other cereals, so they are widely used as feed for cattle, sheep and goats.
Millet is also used as green fodder and as silage for fattening animals. As green fodder it outperforms maize and rye. Poultry farms add millet to special compound feeds.
Growing yellow millet
Millet has become increasingly popular in recent years and now ranks fourth in the world by sown area. It is an annual plant that adapts to any climate.
When the basic growing requirements are met, millet can yield more than other cereals. It tolerates a lack of moisture, so it is sown in dry years. Millet is also sown after winter crops that have been killed by frost, as it makes good use of summer rainfall.
The best predecessor for millet is sugar beet
Millet gives the best yields after sugar beet, legumes and winter cereals.
