Video of Millets Webinar on pearl millet, 17 Apr. 2025

The recording of our Apr. 17, 2025 Millets Webinar on pearl millet is now available at https://youtu.be/MtYL3MUquRA . Thanks again to Dr. Om Dangi of Agriculture Environmental Renewal Canada (AERC) and Gary Wietgrefe of NAMA for sharing their expertise on this versatile crop that most of us in Canada and the US don't yet know much about. Thanks also to other participants who joined us and contributed, notably Dr. SK Gupta and Dr. Dr. Roopa Banerjee, senior scientists at ICRISAT. Two big takeaways are how far north pearl millet can be productively grown (i.e., well into Canada), and how widely this crop is grown, particularly in the US (altho not so much for grain, yet). After the introductions, Dr. Om Dangi's presentation begins at 03:21 (he is "aerco" onscreen), and is followed by a number of questions and comments. Gary Wietgrefe's presentation starts after 46:50 (he first responds to a question from Joni Kindwall-Moore, who was moderating).
