Thank you, Gary, for this posting about your work on proso and other millets. Much information here, and I look forward to delving into some of it.

I had the chance to peruse your 1989 book, "Proso MIllet: A Trade Summary" (140 pp.),/1 /2 and found it to be packed with information and observations. I'm not aware of how often this has been referenced in later work on proso or other millets (which are mentioned), but it merits attention for anyone researching the evolution and future of millets in North America (noting also mentions of other millets and other regions). Have you done any revisions or updates to this work?

All the best,
Don

This millet collaboration is exciting! For many  decades I have been trying to keep millet, especially proso, a viable crop. I'll skip the earlier years, and rather than summarize my millet books, research, and videos, I encourage you to access them for free at ResearchGate and YouTube links below.
