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.

There are a lot of different millets. It isn't Panicum miliaceum, but it
might be Echinochloa esculenta or Echinochloa frumentacea. But as you
say there's not enough visible detail for a positive identification.
