FOUNDING INVESTMENT
To support the program’s launch, the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission (KGSC) and the Sorghum Checkoff each provide $2 million, made in annual payments of $200,000 for 10 years. The Kansas Department of Agriculture provides $20,000 per year for 10 years, and K-State will invest $800,000, for a total of $5 million. Further partnerships are sought to expand the pursuit of the center’s vision for sorghum advancement.
