The Sorghum Checkoff’s new executive director is a familiar face for the industry. Norma Ritz Johnson has returned to Team Sorghum after spending the past 16 years with the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. She says one priority for sorghum producers is in line with an issue she addressed while with the Chamber.

Johnson says she anticipates addressing other priorities, including those she spoke about during her time across the hall with the National Sorghum Producers.

Norma Ritz Johnson succeeds Florentino Lopez as executive director of the Sorghum Checkoff.
