I came across an older article that holds up well in its treatment of the history of millets in the US and general descriptions:
E. A. Oelke, et al, 1990, "Millets," Alternative Field Crops Manual ( University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service, the University of Minnesota Extension Service and the Center for Alternative Plant and Animal Products) Available at: * https://corn.aae.wisc.edu/Crops/Millets.aspx * https://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/afcm/millet.html Being already 35 years old, its information on varieties as well as some other technical information would need updating, of course. The article references growing conditions in the upper Midwest. The Alternative Field Crops Manual was compiled - evidently online - in 1989-1992. There are a lot of publications on "alternative crops," as well as on millets in particular. While many are more recent, I find it of interest to note early treatments that (a) hold up well, and (b) have or may have contributed to current understanding.
