The Sorghum PAC is the bipartisan political action committee of the

National Sorghum Producers. It was created by the National Sorghum

Producer’s board of directors in 2010 to advance the political interests of

sorghum producers. The Sorghum PAC does this by helping to elect and re-elect Senators and Members of Congress who support sorghum producers and a strong,

efective sorghum industry.


Contributing to the Sorghum PAC ensures that NSP’s presence and eforts

in Washington D.C., are undoubtedly having a direct impact on our producers’

ability to operate their farms and ranches with minimal government interference and constructive farm

policy. This allows producers to sustain their businesses for future generations.

You can contribute today!

Individuals may contribute a maximum of $5,000 per year. Federal election law requires the National Sorghum Producers PAC to report the name, mailing address,

occupation and name of the employer that each individual whose contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year. Your contribution is subject to the limits

and prohibitions of the Federal Election Campaign Act. Your contribution is not tax-deductible as a charitable

contribution for Federal income tax purposes. Corporate contributions are NOT allowed per federal law.
