Millet, Juosvse Proso 

(90 days) Panicum miliaceum -

Variety given to the Seed Ambassadors Project by the Lithuanian Ministry of Agriculture, Dotnuva, Lithuania and obtained from our friends at Adaptive Seed. Proso millets are an easy to grow warm season grass that produce attractive sprays of seeds on a loose panicle. Seeds are a copper red and have a hull that is difficult to remove, so they are more commonly grown for floral arrangements and birdseed.  There are 4 major types of  millet which include Pearl (the most common grain type), Proso, Finger, and Foxtail (the type used for birdseed). Millets may have been consumed by humans for about 7,000 years and potentially had "a pivotal role in the rise of multi-crop agriculture and settled farming societies". Interestingly, millet is the 5th most commonly cultivated grain crop in the world after wheat, rice, corn and barley. HEIRLOOM, SSF
