German Strain R Foxtail Millet, selected in Texas by the late J.R. McNeill, is relatively
early, fine-stemmed, and leafy with compact cylindrical heads.  The spines of the heads tend
to be reddish purple in the immature stage but become straw-colored at maturity.  The
variety has good seedling vigor and is resistant to lodging. It is commonly used for haying and grazing.
