I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky
It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

Working with summer crops in Queensland. Sigh.
sorghum seedlings at sunset. Little do they know that a hail storm is coming in 7 days which will defoliate them :-(

Just joined bluesky. I am into all things sorghum, occasionally other crops too! Multi disciplinary approach to genetic gain. Queensland based. Global focus.
