National Wheat Yield Contest promotional image

Recent news and highlights from around the U.S. wheat industry.

Speaking of Wheat

“During yet another market disruption related to Russian government intervention, the U.S. wheat store remains open and operating predictably and transparently on a sound commercial basis. The disruption has fueled challenging market volatility. But during this crisis, all customers have an equal opportunity to access to U.S. wheat supplies in order to run mills and maintain our shared responsibilities to feed the world’s people.” – U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) President Vince Peterson.

Ag on the National Mall

A “Celebration of Modern Agriculture” will be held on March 21 and March 22 (National Ag Day) on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Exhibits at the event will feature hands-on displays of modern technology and equipment that is driving agriculture’s tradition of innovation. The event, including a wheat industry exhibit, will be open near the Smithsonian Metro station from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.

Congratulations to USW’s Tyllor Ledford!
