The United Sorghum Checkoff Program, based in Lubbock, TX, is a producer-funded organization dedicated to improving the sorghum industry through research, promotion, and education. Established in 2008, the Sorghum Checkoff helps U.S. sorghum farmers communicate the value of sorghum as a healthy and versatile grain to consumers. Sorghum is a highly nutritious ancient grain that is rich in antioxidants, high in protein, and naturally gluten-free. It can be grown as a grain, forage, or sweet crop and is one of the top five cereal crops in the world. Sorghum is not only beneficial for human consumption but also for the planet. Its cultivation helps build soil health by retaining moisture and nutrients, and it requires 30% less water than other grains to thrive. With its resource-conserving properties, sorghum contributes to significant water savings, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The Sorghum Checkoff works to connect sorghum producers, manufacturers, and users through its supplier directory, providing opportunities for new markets and international buyers looking for grain. Whether it's for livestock feed, foodservice outlets, pet food production, or aquaculture, sorghum offers numerous benefits to various industries.Generated from the website
