My though is that it probably is Millet, don't know if it will give a
seed crop, but it can be grown as a fodder crop or for silage.


It doesn't look like millet to me, but there isn't enough detail
of the plume to be sure. I am pretty sure that it is being grown
for one of those purposes, though.
