Planting, growing, harvesting and storing millet information for producers
Planting, growing, harvesting and storing millet information for producers
Proso millet seeds typically do not mature uniformly. Shattering of early ripening seeds is a common, thus. swathing is preferred to harvesting the standing crop. Growers should begin swathing when seeds in the upper half of the panicle have matured. Seeds on the lower half of the panicle will continue to mature and dry in the windrow before threshing.
The grain should be stored at 13 percent moisture or less. If harvested at higher moisture content the grain can be dried.
