This document is a Program Agreement between U.S. Wheat Associates, Inc. (USW), a corporation of the District of Columbia, and the North Dakota Wheat Commission (NDWC), an organization representing wheat farmers of North Dakota. The agreement establishes USW as a contracting agency to undertake and carry out projects and activities approved by organizations like NDWC, with a commitment to non-discrimination and equal employment practices.

For the fiscal year 2021 (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021), based on USW's approved budget of $5,578,000, the NDWC agrees to provide $1,147,000. This commitment is calculated based on membership and production assessments, with USW invoicing NDWC monthly throughout the fiscal year. The primary purpose of the agreement is to establish, increase, and encourage the consumption, utilization, and sale of U.S. wheat in foreign and domestic markets through trade servicing activities, technical assistance, market and industry information, and consumer promotion.
