In this episode I discuss a segregating F2 or F3 population of Sorghum I’ve been working with. I also discuss all aspects of growing, harvesting, and using your own Sorghum at the Backyard scale. Topics include Sorghum “ Dale”, Sorghum “ Texicoa “, Grain Sorghum, Syrup Sorghum, Popping Sorghum, Sorghum genetics, breeding, selection, and seed saving, harvesting and threshing Sorghum, feeding Sorghum to Poultry and Pigs, malting and brewing beer from Sorghum, Nixtamalizing Sorghum, grinding Sorghum for flour, making syrup and pancakes both from Sorghum, Sorghum vs Corn ( Maize) in many areas, yields, disease, insect, and pest tolerance, and levels of pixie popcorn that shouldn’t be possible.

It takes much education to get a doctorate in sorghum breeding.

Where I came from in Asia, sorghum sake 高梁酒，is very expensive because it's rare. The prices double the rice sake and not many countries know how ro make this type of liquor. Taiwan makes it.
Red sorghum sake even tops all other sake in profit. It's called Daughters Red Sake 女兒紅。In countrysides during the old days, when a baby girl was born, they buried a couple of jars of red sorghum with yeast underground until the daughter grows up to be married. It's a wedding sake.
Don't know if this too boring for you but I think there is a lot of economic potential in this sorghum winery business for sushi bars, Asian restaurants and Asian exports.
