USCP Marketing Director, Florentino Lopez, traveled to Nebraska during the week of January 18 -22, to assist Alvaro Cordero of the U.S. Grains Council and Barbara Kliment of the Nebraska Sorghum Association with Nebraska’s Annual Sorghum Cropping Profitability Seminars.

Mark Elmore, a sorghum producer from Allison, Texas appreciates the value of selling his grain at a guaranteed price. Elmore pre-contracts his dry-land grain sorghum with Texas Farm L.L.C., a subsidiary of Nippon Meat Packers, Inc. 

“It helps me to know exactly what I will get for my sorghum crop at harvest. If it looks like the numbers won’t work out on paper, then I won’t put anything in the ground,” says Elmore. “It’s a lot less stressful to know that I will get a good price for my grain.”
