Amy France Elected National Sorghum Producers Chairwoman During Annual August Board Meeting
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.
