The Act authorizes generic promotion, research, and information orders aimed at advancing the demand for agricultural commodities to benefit U.S. producers and consumers. On May 6, 2008, AMS published a final Sorghum Promotion, Research, and Information Order after public notice and comment. The Order became effective on May 7, 2008.
