Browntop millet video (new)
Gary Wietgrefe has a new video on browntop millet in the US, entitled "Brown Top Millet" at https://youtu.be/H1X8VwPUoYE "U.S. is likely the 3rd leading country producing brown top millet. Production area, agronomics, and uses are covered." Browntop or brown top millet (Urochloa ramosa or Brachiaria ramosa) is NAMA's millet-of-the-month in September. Sometimes also called Dixie signalgrass, In the US, as Gary mentions, mainly used for forage, wildlife, and in cover crop mixes. And that is mainly in the southeastern US. Use of the seed of US-grown browntop as a food grain in North America appears to be negligible at best, The main source of food grade browntop in our part of the world is via imports from India. In the food space, this is a less common millet, if you will, which is marketed online and in markets specializing in South Asian foods, under labels like Danodia, Manna, Jiva, and Shastha.
