LUBBOCK, TX (August 21, 2024)-The National Sorghum Producers board of directors elected Amy France of Scott City, Kansas, as chairwoman at the board's annual August board and budget meeting.
"It is a true honor to serve as chairwoman of NSP. Just as in farming, many fine people have blazed the trail before me, so that we can achieve the things we do today," France said. "I'm grateful for past leadership, and their examples, and look forward to continuing to carry the torch for sorghum and agriculture in this most important time."
France operates a family farm in the semi-arid western Kansas region, producing grain sorghum, corn, wheat and black Angus cattle. She and her husband, Clint, are third-generation farmers, working alongside their oldest son. France has served on the NSP board of directors since 2018.
In addition to France, the NSP board of directors elected Garrett Love of Montezuma, Kansas, as vice chairman, and Craig Meeker, of Wellington, Kansas, will continue to serve the board as past chairman. Barry Evans of Kress, Texas, and Dustin Borden of Gruver, Texas, were also elected to the board as directors.
The NSP board of directors now includes:
Kody Carson, former past chairman from Olton, Texas, and Danny Beyer from Odem, Texas, will conclude their terms as directors in September and will be recognized for their service at the board's annual meeting in December.
New directors and officers will begin their 2024-2025 board term starting October 1. View NSP's entire leadership team at SorghumGrowers.com.
