About Sorghum Associations

The primary function of the state and national associations is to provide legislative and regulatory representation at the state and national levels.

In most cases, checkoff dollars may not be used for legislative representation, or for work in policy areas such as environmental regulations or disaster assistance. Instead, these types of efforts are funded by sorghum growers and industry who choose to be a part of a unified voice through association membership.  When producers from states with affiliated chapters send in their membership dues to the national office, they automatically become a member of their state association as well.
