Hybrid Pearl Millet 2-3 Acres

Pearl millet is the top millet choice for grazing, silage, hay production, green chop, and for quail, turkey, doves and duck feed.  Our version is even better because it is a hybrid that produces more tonnage and seed. The Eagle Seed millet is the best because it stands longest thru the winter. This bunch grass grows 4-8 feet tall and produces a beautiful, showy inflorescence.  Higher in grain production, our millet makes a deep root system to scavenge nutrients, without producing prussic acid or tannins.  All of those features make it a safe choice for chicken and horse feed.
