Grain Journal - January/February 2009 - (Page 56) Tim Lust Interview SORGHUM PRODUCERS REPORT PROMISING START TO NATIONAL CHECKOFF The grain and feed industries are key links in the chain that brings food from farm to table, but it does not exist in a vacuum. In the first of a new series of interviews, Grain Journal will solicit the views of key spokespersons for producer organizations and other industries that impact directly on the operation of grain elevators and feed mills.

Tim Lust, CEO of the association and new National Sorghum Checkoff, grew up on a grain and livestock farm near Lazbuddie, TX, in the Panhandle region. He holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Angelo State University in San Angelo, TX, and a master’s degree in business administration from Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
