Amarillo

On Thursday I attended a field day hosted by the ARS in Bushland, Texas. There was various speakers throughout the day ranging on different things from corn and sorghum varieties to irrigation technology.
This is a sorghum trial looking at conventional v's "stay green" varieties. The stuff on the right as the name suggests stays green after harvesting the grain. Obviously a good thing for livestock.
This is sorghum juice. We saw three plants rolled/crushed to produce about 300ml of this liquid. Could be used for a number of things but ethanol production is were most of the research is heading.
