I planted some Red Millet into one of my poor performing sandy paddocks last summer. I put out a load of chicken litter and added a bit more black urea when it was about 9" tall and it went well, about 8 acres and I cut some for hay first off and got over 400 small square bales then some more urea and periodically grazed it the rest of summer. At the end of Feb I grazed hard then sprayed it out and direct drilled oats into it a month later. The oats are coming up very nicely and even, I was very impressed with this as we have had very dry conditions at the moment and without the grass sucking out the moisture and the dead mat of grass reducing evaporation I found good moisture when I drilled the oats in and I saved a bit of soil structure there.
I will put millet in again this summer and then sow a temperate pasture next autumn if I am sure I have exhausted all weed and grass seed though I am getting a bit fond of having this bit of cultivation and have put in a lot of work clearing rocks etc. My plan is to then move to the next paddock and repeat the process.
I think you will do well with the millet Sky.
