Arkansas Corn and Grain Sorghum Board

The Arkansas Corn and Grain Sorghum Board has worked since its inception in 1997 to develop a viable research program divided between the two commodities based upon the percentage of the check-off collected from each. The Board met on March 5, 2007 to review proposals for research and promotion programs to be conducted during the crop year. The Board approved research projects with the University of Arkansas totaling $278,975, and allocated $22,000 for agricultural promotion projects.
