Default What's this crop growing in my yard?

Looks like millet.

I thought it was going to turn out to be corn but
it obviously isn't.

I suspect rooster poop planted it; we have a
rooster surviving from a group of seven dropped
off by some mysterious egg farmer last September
(they survive Ohio winter fine but whenever a
particular neighbor's dog gets loose a couple of
roosters meet death.). But it doesn't match any
crop planted nearby, those being corn and
soybeans. It might come from somebody's bird
feeder.

Central Ohio.
