Providing wheat for every need
U.S. wheat farmers produce the world's widest range of wheat varieties, providing value and reliability for every import market.

The activities of U.S. Wheat Associates are made possible by producer checkoff dollars managed by 18 state wheat commissions and through cost-share funding provided by USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. |
