The National Sorghum Producers (NSP), a US organisation representing sorghum growers, has elected Kansas farmer Garrett Love as its new chairman for the 2026–2028 term.

Love, who is based in Montezuma in southwestern Kansas, was selected during the organisation's annual board and budget meeting held in August. His appointment was announced publicly on October 5, 2026.

An experienced farmer, Love cultivates sorghum, wheat, corn and soybeans and also raises cattle. His background combines practical agricultural experience with previous responsibilities in government and agricultural policy.

From 2011 to 2017, he served in the Kansas Senate, where he chaired the Senate Agriculture Committee. He subsequently chaired the US Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency Committee for Kansas between 2017 and 2021.

In his new position, Love will represent the interests of sorghum producers and work with industry stakeholders on issues affecting the crop's future.

The organisation also elected Scott Frazier of Chapman Ranch, Texas, as vice chairman. Frazier grows sorghum, cotton and corn and raises cattle. He has been involved in agricultural advocacy at state and national levels for more than two decades.

Meanwhile, Amy France of Scott City, Kansas, will move into the role of past chair.

Three additional directors were elected to the board: Verity Ulibarri of New Mexico, Tom Gregory of Texas and Cody White of Texas.

The appointments bring together agricultural producers with experience in farming, industry representation and policy discussions.

For the US sorghum sector, leadership organisations such as NSP play a role in representing growers' interests in agricultural policy, market access and industry development.

Love's appointment marks a new leadership term for the organisation as American sorghum farmers navigate evolving production conditions, trade considerations and agricultural policy priorities.
