We do NOT ship 50 pound bags of feed/seed! Browntop millet (Urochloa ramosa) is a fast-growing, warm-season annual grass widely used for wildlife food plots (especially doves), high-quality livestock forage, and erosion control. It matures in 60-70 days, grows 2-5 feet tall, and thrives in diverse, well-drained soils. It is known for its high fiber and seed production. Key Benefits and Uses: Wildlife Attraction: A preferred food source for doves, quail, turkey, and ducks. Forage/Grazing: Provides fast-growing, nutritious grazing or hay for livestock. Conservation: Excellent for erosion control, soil improvement as green manure, and as a weed-suppressing cover crop. Human Nutrition: Highly nutritious, gluten-free, and rich in fiber (up to 12.5%), offering a potential rice alternative. Rapid Growth: Produces forage in 45-60 days and can be planted from spring to summer. Growth and Planting Details: Seeding Rate: Typically 25-40 lbs per acre (drilled or broadcast). Planting Depth: 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Conditions: Requires warm soil (65-70°F+), preferring sandy loam but adaptable to various soil types. Soil Type: Prefers pH 5.5-7. Management Tips: It is very tolerant to being broadcast over existing ground litter. It can be used as a nurse crop for slower-growing native species. Staggered plantings throughout the summer can ensure consistent feed availability.
