Nebraska Sorghum Showcase to be held at NIC

The Nebraska Grain Sorghum Board and Nebraska Innovation Campus will host the inaugural Nebraska Sorghum Showcase on Wednesday, January 26. The event will feature sorghum-based product processors from around the country and across the globe. Processors will have an opportunity to showcase their existing products and to present opportunities for investment to the public. The Showcase will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the NIC Conference Center.

“Nebraska Sorghum is excited to partner with Nebraska Innovation Campus to bring processors from around the world to our state,” stated Nebraska Sorghum Executive Director, Nate Blum. “These entrepreneurs understand the growing consumer demand for gluten-free, non-gmo, healthy, and sustainable products. Sorghum meets all of those demands and is well-positioned to capture domestic markets worth billions of dollars. We firmly believe that Nebraska is the perfect place to build value-added processing facilities due to our central geographic location, access to quality crops, and excellent road, rail, and air infrastructure. The sorghum industry is an opportunity for creating increased on-farm revenues while creating jobs in communities across the state.”
