Found this read interesting. Amazing what they can do. I wouldn't mind a few acres of perennial sunflowers occupying my food plot!!

I bet your deer wouldn't mind either, it's like candy to them.

wow, they have a long term plan, 15 to 18 years till a field ready product. Wonder if they could hybridize something like kudzu and another bean like soy or cow pea to come up with an annual plant that would share characteristics of both? trailing like mad but with the pod production of soybean. Kind of like lab lab on steroids, but easier germination that kudzu. Make it so it is a non viable seed producer, we don't need something like that escaping.
