Millets also known as Shreeanna in India have been growing for thousands of years throughtput all continents as being discovered by archeologists, for the simple reason that it hardly requires any fertiliser or pesticide too besides low water requirement being C4 crops. Consumption has increased tremendously due to the Central Government and State Governments focus and handsome budgets allocated to promote the same bringing demands at garm level. Would love to visit US for having nutritious meals & breakfast from US Origin Millets. 😋@MilletsofIndia

I raise it in Northern Wisconsin as forage instead of Sorghum Sudan grass. Never combined it, but you can always count on it.
