Sorghum Fueling Food Aid

Chuck Zimmerman

Gerald SimonsenRepresenting the National Sorghum Producers on the Commodity Classic stage this morning was Chairman of the Board, Gerald Simonsen.

We learned some interesting things about sorghum such as how 30 percent of the crop goes into ethanol and when it comes to export and food aid it’s big too. And last year sorghum was the number one requested food commodity through the USAID. Half as much of our sorghum is going to food aid as animal feed.
