Idaho Wheat Commissioner Particpates in D.C. Food Aid Fly-in

Idaho Wheat Commissioner Wayne Hurst joined leaders from the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), U.S. Wheat Associates (USW), and the North American Millers’ Association to advocate for the American Farmers Feed the World Act. The group emphasized the importance of robust funding for programs tied to this initiative during the appropriations process. They also highlighted the need to refocus on the original mission of the Food for Peace program, which fosters export markets and strengthens global relationships—efforts that directly benefit Idaho wheat farmers and reinforce their role in feeding the world.
