How to use millet in a sentence?

1. Phillip Tshuma:

   Millet and sorghum are the crops for survival in this time of drought, farmers have to work hard to survive - it is not magic.

2. Bongkiyung Emmanuel Nyuyki:

   The main agricultural products – maize, groundnuts, millet, sorghum and rice – suffer enormously due to their high dependence on rainfall. The June 15 deadline for (starting) farming has been unreliable with early as well as late onset of the planting season year in and year out.

3. David Bergvinson:

   Sorghum and millet are not only climate smart but nutritionally smart. We call them smart foods because they are good for us, good for the environment and good for smallholder farmers to manage climate change, diversify their income and increase their profitability.
