I’m thinking about crossing sorghum and grain sorghum, for two reasons. The first is the obvious; it would be nice to be able to eat your brooms and have them too!

2022-06-01T07:00:00Z (UTC) I’m working with just under half an acre up here. Gaspe flint corn matures reliably here and I am also completely in love with it, so I want to spread its genes and incorporate it into many mi… --- ## [Small-Scale Grain Growing Video](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/small-scale-grain-growing-video/249)
