Billy Bob Brown is Texas through and through. He’s proud of that, and especially proud of helping to build the national sorghum checkoff. In the course of a year-and-a-half, Brown says the checkoff board members went from a pen, a blank sheet of paper and a start-up fund kept in a USDA lock box, to a staff, an office, a bank account, legal representation and projects that should improve sorghum production and should bolster the market for it. Brown is one of 13 members the checkoff’s board of directors.
