Because of the strong resistance of millet, the requirement for soil is not so important, but if you want high yield, it is best to choose sandy land with fertile soil.

At least half a month before planting, the land should be cleared, so that it can be dried for a period of time. When preparing soil, it is required that the land is flat and the clods are fine, which can enhance the permeability of the soil and is beneficial to water storage and plant growth.
