Premium Millet
Why you should be growing it!
Many farmers are
familiar with Millet through its use in game strips and cover crop mixtures.
However, Millet has only become a viable arable crop option since changes to
the subsidy system (Mid Term Review) removed crop-specific subsidies.
The UK imports large quantities of Millet for birdseed and there is now an opportunity for UK farmers to supply this expanding market.
