National Sorghum Producers received a $65 million USDA Climate-Smart Ag Grant covering Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The group plans to use the funds to find markets that pay premiums for sorghum grown with climate-friendly practices.
NSP also said it wants a stronger safety net in the 2023 Farm Bill and expects 2022 drought assistance to move forward.
Premium markets for low-carbon sorghum could support producer returns over time, but the program has no immediate effect on supply or price. Its impact on sorghum prices is minor.
