Has anyone had experience with dehulling Japanese millet? Is it similar to dehulling Proso millet? On Sun, Jun 11, 2023 at 2:06 PM Dipak Santra via Collab < collab@lists.millets2023.space> wrote:
Japanese millet (Echinochloa esculenta), also called barnyard millet, possibly is used in cover crop mix and as human food 9after dehulling (like other millet) for ethnic population (mainly Indian) in North America. It is very popular in India grocery stores what I have seen.

Thank you, David, I appreciate your sharing this. It's of course another version of the radio segment that aired last month on a more local scale (Kansas CIty, apparently):
https://www.kcur.org/2023-05-17/millets-drought-climate-united-nations <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.kcur.org/2023-05-17/millets-drought-climate-united-nations__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!BRDQvnZU8qxQSiQ-O_iRtpRc8pS78j3wSvk59HaJWe3fq8FKBtcR3mGB5dwL6Vp7LODfOdAD5rPRXf8uiA$> . Altho shorter, the NPR Morning Edition version captures all the main points. And of course it went out nationally in the US, which is great.
Regarding the content of the segment, I'm particularly curious to know more about the Japanese millet (Echinochloa esculenta) that Linus Rothermich is growing - what are the markets for this grain in North America? I am aware of the plant's use as forage and for wildlife in the US.
TIA for any more info,

Millets, an alternative crop to corn and soybeans, is getting new attention in the U.S. The resilient grain could help U.S. farmers survive climate change.
