Thank you Don! I hope we can get some of our NAMA folks to activate- sometimes people think it is spam so I appreciate you sharing in the collab. Once we have settled on our database of US millets resources (Gary- we added inport and export resources last week), I will see if Leigh can add them to the asset map of businesses in the NAMA Ryzosphere. Since we have "members" and "businesses" as two layers of our community. That will be such cool visualization.
