The United Sorghum Checkoff Program supports the sorghum industry through research, education, and promotional activities intended to improve profitability for sorghum growers. It was established in 2008 and operates under the oversight of the USDA, authorized by the Commodity Promotion, Research and Information Act of 1996. Based in Lubbock, Texas, the program functions as a checkoff within the farming sector. Its primary customers are sorghum growers and other stakeholders along the sorghum supply chain seeking knowledge, product development, and market development support. A 2025 partnership with Riviana Foods Inc. and Harvest Food Group to launch IQF cooked whole grain sorghum demonstrates ongoing collaboration to expand sorghum use.
