“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.
Policy & Advocacy
WAWG monitors state transportation, research, and natural resources policy — and partners with the National Association of Wheat Growers to track federal farm policy. When mandatory buffers, ag overtime, pesticide regulations, or trade policy threatens Washington wheat farmers, WAWG is in the room representing your interests.
Education & Programs
WAWG depends on volunteers for both activities and funding, with all programs guided by members through grassroots committees. From AMMO farm management workshops to the Wheat Ambassador Program and Wheat College, member dues make it possible for volunteers to represent Washington wheat at the state and national level.

Members stay current through our weekly Greensheet e-newsletter, press releases, legislative reports, white papers, and natural resources updates. When regulations change, markets shift, or research breaks — Washington wheat growers hear it from WAWG first.
Our History Over 7 Decades of Washington Wheat
WAWG was founded in 1954 by Washington wheat producers who understood that individual farmers couldn't fight policy battles alone. The association's first major effort was forming the Washington Wheat Commission — which later became the Washington Grain Commission when it merged with the Washington Barley Commission.
