This document is a Memorandum of Agreement between the North Dakota Wheat Commission (the "Commission") and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association (the "NDGGA"), both located in North Dakota. The agreement is dated July 1, 2023, with a term through June 30, 2024, and involves cooperation between these two state-level agricultural organizations.

The agreement provides for NDGGA to perform various services on behalf of North Dakota wheat and durum producers, including developing domestic farm policy, paying dues to national trade associations, participating in Commission meetings and policy development, informing producers about Commission activities, assisting in obtaining research and crop insurance funding, supporting environmental and conservation efforts, managing market risks, developing export policies, providing leadership training, and supporting value-added agricultural enterprises. In compensation for these services, the Commission will pay NDGGA $360,000 in four quarterly installments of $90,000 each, with a potential fifth payment determined by the total final revenue collected in the 2023-24 fiscal year. The contract includes comprehensive provisions for insurance, confidentiality, non-discrimination, and other standard contractual protections.
