Millets
White Proso Millet
Com. 1
White millet is generally used as a combining millet for birdseed.
Siberian Foxtail Millet
Com. 1
A fairly drought tolerant millet mainly used for feed.
Japanese Millet
Com. 1
Japanese Millet grows exceptionally well in low spots and can handle salinity. Seed Japanese millet into your wetland for great feed crops where other crops usually drown out!
Crown Proso Millet
Com. 1
Crown millet is used for green feed crops. Most popular for dry baling.
Red Proso Millet
Com. 1
Red millet can be combined as a cash crop, or used for green feed. When combined, the straw is also quite palatable and nutritious for cattle. Most popular for dry baling.
Golden German Foxtail Millet
Com. 1
Golden German Millet is usually the highest yielding of the millets for green feed. It is usually swath grazed, or cut for silage, as dry down can be difficult.
Cereals
Forage Oats
Com. 1
A high tonnage yielding oat used for forage. Can be baled, silage baled, or cut for silage.
Combining Seed Oats
Com. 1
Combine variety with long straw, which makes them dual purpose for combining or forage.
Conlon Barley
Cert. 1
Smooth Awned, 2 row barley. Can be used for combining or forage.
Spring Triticale
Com. 1
Can be used for combing, or forage. Fairly drought hardy.
Winter Cereals
Fall Rye
Com. 1
Fall rye is a cool‑season annual grass commonly planted in the fall for cover cropping, forage, and erosion control because of its exceptional cold tolerance and rapid growth. It overwinters reliably, produces large amounts of biomass in early spring, scavenges excess soil nitrogen, suppresses weeds, and can be grazed or cut for early‑season forage before termination.
Winter Triticale
Com. 1
Winter triticale is a cool‑season winter annual grass bred from wheat and rye that combines rye’s cold tolerance with wheat’s high forage quality. It overwinters reliably, produces large amounts of palatable, digestible forage for grazing or silage in spring, scavenges excess nitrogen, and offers strong soil protection while providing a wider harvest window and less allelopathic effect than fall rye.
