About the 15x40 Program Investing in the Next Generation

Washington wheat farming is a family enterprise — and the 15×40 Program is built on that principle: get young producers in the room, connected to the right people, and part of the conversations that shape the industry.

Each year, WAWG covers the full convention registration cost for 15 wheat farmers age 40 and under who have not previously attended the Annual Convention. Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis — and they go fast.

Every Participant Receives:

  • Full convention registration at no cost

  • Access to all general sessions, keynote speakers, and networking events

  • Expert-led seminars on policy, markets, and agronomy

  • Direct connection with WAWG staff, leadership, and fellow producers

Not yet a member?

Non-members also receive a one-year WAWG membership at no charge — so you leave the convention already connected.
