Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has appointed five members who will be a part of the United Sorghum Checkoff Program Board.
These producers have been appointed for a period of three-year terms: Klint Stewart, Columbus, Nebraska; Carlton Bridgeforth, Decatur, Alabama; Verity Ulibarri, Melrose, New Mexico; Shayne Suppes, Scott City, Kansas; and Charles Ray Huddleston, Celina, Texas.
