Today, we’re especially thankful for the incredible food grown by our hardworking farmers and ranchers! 🍞🥩🍂 Every delicious bite on our tables is a result of their dedication and care, from the fields and pastures to our plates.

November's Wheat Life is now available online. In this issue we talk about progress on the Columbia River Treaty, getting out of a pesticide pickle, fingerprinting soil, and how a community came together to finish harvest for one of their own. https://wheatlife.org/issues/

Today, we’re giving a big shoutout to the unsung heroes who keep Washington wheat moving! 🙌 We’re thankful for our barge captians that guide our grain down river, our dedicated truck drivers who hit the road, and the skilled train engineers ensuring our wheat makes it to port safely.

From field to port, it takes a village—and we couldn’t do it without all of you. Thank you! 👏

Feeling spicy at Nabisco Cookies in Portland, OR. We are at Mondelez Bakery where they make Oreos, Premium Saltines, Chicken in a Biscuit and Chips Ahoy using flour sourced from us! Us and all the other wheat farmers in Washington, that is.
