Amber waves of grain (sorghum)
(thelemmy.club)
Fields of grain sorghum aka milo as far as the eye can see. Cotton, milo, feed corn everywhere.
Sorghum gets used for a lot of stuff but the sorghum grown here is mostly used as feed for cattle and pigs, biomass for renewable diesel and biodiesel, and ethanol production for fuel adultering.
This particular part of the field is a week or so out from being harvested. It's still too orange/rusty looking. It'll turn a red/purple hue when it's fully ready. Corn was harvested last month. Cotton is probably next month. Most of the fields will go fallow until next summer but some of the currently fallow fields will get some cotton, Milo, or corn planted. It's hot enough here we have two growing seasons.
