“If you’re looking for a quick growing plant that produces abundant seed used by wild turkeys and other wildlife, millet is the ticket,” says Bryan Burhans, NWTF Director of Land Management Programs.
Depending on the variety, millet requires only 40 to 90 days to mature, produces an abundance of seed and is an excellent choice if you want to create great dove hunting opportunities, as well as providing fall food for wild turkeys. Quail also relish millet, making it a good addition if the management of healthy coveys is one of your objectives.
Millet is an annual crop, therefore, it will generally require replanting each year. To plant, simply prepare your seedbed by harrowing, then drill or broadcast seed at the recommended rate for the variety of millet being planted. Finish by lightly covering the seed, using a drag or harrowing lightly. Millet grows well throughout most of the United States.
