Hybrid Pearl Millet
$106.00
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.
