#Sorghum develops aerial roots and (like maize) produces abundant carb-rich mucilage after rain. @jeanmichelane &co show that diazotrophic #bacteria in the aerial roots can fix nitrogen, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers #plosbiology https://plos.io/3EYPZjK

Curtailment of the USAID program is expected to heavily impact U.S. sorghum farmers because most sorghum is exported rather than consumed in the U.S. Here's a summary of sorghum's nutritional value relative to other grains:

The world seems on track to produce more #rice, #wheat & #soybeans than ever before, but production of #sorghum & #millet (key staples in Sub-Saharan #Africa) has barely grown. #Yields of most these crops are equal or slightly higher than previously: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/food-production-2024
This year I planted a milpa-inspired bed with #squash #beans and #sorghum in place of #corn / #maize.
Everything grew great! The weird thing, however, was that the beans did not flower. At all. Until after the fall equinox when it was too late for them to mature pods. I planted Frijol Negro Santanero from Rancho Gordo that were grown in #Oaxaca. Turns out, much to my surprise, common beans can be day-length sensitive! I live too far north for this tropical variety.
