Japanese Millet
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Japanese Millet is a warm-season annual forage grass developed for rapid establishment and high-yield summer feed. It’s ideal for livestock systems needing fast strike, bulk feed, or multiple cuts in one season. Known for its drought tolerance and ability to produce up to 2–3 cuts for silage or grazing in the right conditions.
First cut or grazing can be around 45-60 days.
The minimum soil temperature for sowing is around 17C
Sowing Rate: 25-30kg per hectare for sowing down or broadcast
Key benefits
- Provides a quick feed source during summer when perennial pastures slow, helping fill feed gaps.
- Supports improved animal intake and performance thanks to its forage quality and palatability.
- Offers flexibility: can be used as a standalone short-term pasture or as part of a feed-crop rotation.
- Suitable for farmers looking for a fast-growing summer feed solution under warm conditions
