East comes West for harvest

JT-in-combine
Over the weekend, Josh Tonsager, National Association of Wheat Growers’ (NAWG) vice president of policy and communications, spent time down in Benton County with NAWG Secretary/Treasurer Nicole Berg helping out with wheat harvest. Josh also got a tour of the grain elevator and learned all about wheat grading, segregation, Pacific Northwest and U.S. transportation and how trade policy affects the local economy/elevator.
On Josh’s last day the bankout (grain cart) was still broke down so Josh volunteered to drive the combine! Thank you Nicole Berg for hosting Josh and for the great pictures!
