You could also use "safrinha corn".

The second crop of corn in Brazil, called the safrinha, continues to gain in importance for both farmers who grow the crop and livestock producers who consume the crop.
http://soycorn.org/news/Dec3_09-Safrinha-Corn-Production-In-...

Brazilian farmers, however, are currently planting more second-crop winter (“safrinha”) corn such that safrinha area has increased approximately 16 percent from last year.

Safrinha (second corn crop) planted after early soybean harvest.

In agricultural documents, particularly Brazilian ones, I have often seen "milheto" used to refer to pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), however, Roberto is right, it could possibly refer to another type of millet, you would need more context to be sure.
