U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) is supported by a highly successful partnership that includes 17 state wheat commissions.
Wheat producers contribute a portion of their wheat sales (either by bushel or by production value) to their state wheat commission, called a checkoff. On average, U.S. wheat farmers contribute about one third of a penny per bushel ($0.0034) to USW.
In return, USW’s works closely with its state wheat commission members to carry out its mission “to develop, maintain, and expand international markets to enhance the profitability of U.S. wheat producers and its value for their customers.”
