Hell's Canyon' millet is a fox-tail millet that's good for feeding both humans and birds (including chickens). It's also quite an ornamental plant, well suited to cooler summers. Its large, reddish-brown spikes are striking in bouquets, and the whole plant is quite voluminous, providing a considerable amount of bio-mass. Once well rooted in fertile soil, it will resist drought very well. 1m50-1m80. Approximately 90 days to maturity.
