Reminds me of a nitrogen-fixing variety of corn I just heard about today, too, from back in 2018. It’s tropical and water-intensive, though, so not a great fit for all environments.

Are beans just too fucking hard to plant or something?
Good, because I recently read that the Strait of Hormuz may be blocking fertilizer.
sounds like a recipe for superweeds
