WAWG officers and staff were in Albuquerque in early November for National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) fall meetings. Growers have been taking part in committee meetings, including WAWG President Gil Crosby in the ERC Committee and WAWG Secretary/Treasurer Ryan Poe in the DPTC Committee. One of the main goals of the fall meeting is to review resolutions and policy positions to help guide the national organization going into the next year.

Every year, ag stakeholders bring legislators and staff to visit the people and companies that raise and process the products grown in the state. This year’s food and farm tour was held in Benton and Franklin counties and included stops at a wheat farm, a potato farm, an irrigated farm, Second Harvest, and a potato processor. The tour was sponsored by the Washington Association of Wheat Growers (WAWG), the Washington State Potato Commission, Second Harvest, and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District.
