National Sorghum Producers has opened applications for the 2025 board of directors. NSP, based in Lubbock, Texas, is looking for new producer leaders who are passionate about advancing the crop and shaping the future of the sorghum industry.

“We often hear that getting involved is the most important thing we can do to ensure tomorrow for our industry and the next generation,” said NSP Chair Amy France. “In today’s uncertainty, there are no truer words. We are excited to help drive effective policy and promote, advocate for, and defend the sorghum industry. We encourage and welcome all who have a passion for sorghum, agriculture and the future of our family farms to apply.”

Board members are instrumental in advancing policies and building relationships that benefit sorghum farmers and the industry. Candidates should be NSP members passionate about advocacy and fundraising, with a vision to advance the industry. No prior board experience is necessary to apply.

“We’re looking for forward-thinking leaders who are passionate about shaping the future of the sorghum industry at this critical time,” NSP CEO Tim Lust said. “With ongoing policy challenges and opportunities on the horizon, our farmer-led board plays a vital role in ensuring sorghum producers are strongly represented in Washington, D.C. It’s about stepping up with vision, purpose and a commitment to making a real impact.”

Applications are due by 5 p.m. May 20. After the application deadline, the NSP nominating committee will review all applications before making nominations to the NSP board of directors for consideration and election during the August summer board meeting. Selected members will serve a three-year term, beginning Oct. 1—the start of NSP’s fiscal year.
