OTHER: Growing Proso Millet is a great way to attract a wide variety of birds to your yard! It is the primary seed found in commercial bird seeds. In the US, it is grown for use in birdseed and also as livestock feed. It is cultivated around the world for a variety of uses. It is used as a substitute for wheat because it is gluten free, it can be ground into flour, and can even be used for brewing beer. This millet is an heirloom cereal crop with low water needs, so it is an excellent choice for drier areas where other crops could not grow successfully.
