Japanese millet

Echinochloa esculenta

Warm season, cold tolerant coarse annual grass. Adapted to all soils but thrives on wet and swampy soils, even standing water. Provides fast-growing, short-term cover while perennials establish. Often used around ponds and other waterways as a source of cover and preferred food for waterfowl, including ducks. Effective as a weed-suppressing smother crop. Greater protein content for grazing animals than Oat (Avena sativa) and Timothy (Phleum pratense) hay.
