Wheat Growers Celebrate 75 Years

The National Association of Wheat Growers celebrated the organization’s 75th anniversary during the 2025 Commodity Classic this week in Denver, CO.

“This event recognizes the hard work of those who have been part of the National Association of Wheat Grower’s history and reaffirms our ongoing commitment to ensuring that wheat growers and rural America can continue to thrive for generations to come,” said NAWG CEO Chandler Goule.

The 75th-anniversary celebration brought together current and past leaders of the organization to reflect on its accomplishments and look ahead.  During the event, the group discussed the future of wheat advocacy, including the continued efforts to get a long-term farm bill that meets the needs of today, including a stronger safety net.

“As we look back at the past 75 years, it’s amazing to see what NAWG has accomplished,” said Keeff Felty, Wheat Growers President. “Our work is more important than ever to move the industry forward.”
