U.S. Wheat Associates (USW), North American Millers’ Association (NAMA), National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), and American Bakers Association (ABA) are joining the “Celebration of Modern Agriculture on the National Mall” near the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) headquarters on May 6, 7, and 8, 2024. The event is sponsored by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers as a showcase of the constant improvement in American agriculture from its farmers, ranchers, producers, equipment manufacturers, and input innovators on the cutting-edge of science and technology.
NAMA, USW, NAWG, and ABA will host an exhibit that tells the story of wheat production from field to flour to favorite wheat foods here and around the world. The exhibit will include interactive displays that tell the story of this iconic American crop and the industries it supports. During the event, leaders from all four organizations will be available to speak with the media about their organizations’ participation in the event and how America’s wheat industry, from grower to manufacturer, is producing wholesome, sustainable staple foods to improve food security for a growing world (see attached event map).
U.S. Wheat Associates’ (USW) mission is to “develop, maintain, and expand international markets to enhance wheat’s profitability for U.S. wheat producers and its value for their customers.” USW activities in more than 100 countries are made possible through producer checkoff dollars managed by 17 state wheat commissions and cost-share funding provided by USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. USW maintains 15 offices strategically located around the world to help wheat buyers, millers, bakers, wheat food processors and government officials understand the quality, value and reliability of all six U.S. wheat classes.
