“Working for solutions to problems of the farm, the farm home and rural community using united, organized action to represent, protect and advance the social, economic and educational interests of wheat farmers of Washington State.”

That mission has guided the Washington Association of Wheat Growers since its inception in 1954 — and it still drives everything we do for the wheat industry today.

What We Do How WAWG Supports Wheat Farmers

WAWG monitors state transportation, research, and natural resources policy — and partners with the National Association of Wheat Growers to track federal farm policy. When burdensome regulatory issues, mandatory buffers, ag overtime, pesticide regulations, or trade policy threatens Washington wheat farmers, WAWG is in the room representing your interests.

Our History Over 7 Decades of Washington Wheat

WAWG was founded in 1954 by Washington wheat producers who knew that individual farmers needed a unified voice at the table. From the start, the association focused on the issues that directly affect growers — farm policy, transportation, water, and land use.

Today, WAWG represents producers across 13 counties in Eastern Washington, operating as a grassroots, farmer-led organization guided by the people it serves.
