Kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum), also known as ricegrass paspalum, is our millet-of-the-month. It is both a crop, notably in India, where its grains are used for food, and a weed, actually considered noxious in some locations in the US and elsewhere. For historical interest, here's mention of kodo as a promising forage crop in 1895. This item was apparently syndicated and run verbatim in a number of local newspapers beginning in early 1895 until 1897. The below is the earliest I saw: "Experiments conducted at the Alabama Experiment Station with Ragi millet, Eleusine coracana, and Kodo millet, a species of Paspallum, both obtained from the Madras Presidency, seem to prove that these plants will make good pasture crops for cows and other stock, and also be profitable hay-producing plants in the Southern States." ("Notes," Dowagiac Times [Michigan], 21 Feb. 1895, page 3 https://www.newspapers.com/image/1095765279/?match=1&terms=%22kodo%20millet%... A more complete search would use other terms for the plant, but it is also interesting that this appears to be the earliest use of the term "kodo millet" in English language press in North America. There are not many other mentions that I find via Newspapers.com. The most recent is from 2016, and mentions a presentation on millets our friend and colleague Prof. Dipak Santra, in July of that year: "July 21 seminar to cover millets, India," Star-Herald / Farm & Ranch, 17 July 2016, page 29 https://www.newspapers.com/image/989992896/?match=1&terms=%22kodo%20millet%2... Returning to the syndicated 1895 item, I do not know its source. Also, it appears to be the earliest reference to finger millet using the name "ragi."
