This is a Program Agreement between U.S. Wheat Associates, Inc. (USW), a corporation located in the District of Columbia, and the North Dakota Wheat Commission (NDWC), an organization representing wheat farmers in North Dakota. The document outlines a collaborative relationship between these two entities, with USW established to serve as a contracting agency for projects approved by organizations like NDWC.
