This document is a Memorandum of Agreement between the North Dakota Wheat Commission (referred to as the "Commission") and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association (NDGGA), established on July 1, 2023. The agreement is specific to the state of North Dakota and involves cooperation between a state commission and a state agricultural organization focused on wheat and durum wheat development.

The contract provides for NDGGA to perform various services including developing domestic farm policy beneficial to North Dakota wheat and durum producers, paying dues for national trade association memberships, participating in Commission program and policy development, assisting in informing producers about Commission activities, obtaining research and crop insurance funding, supporting environmental and conservation initiatives, managing market risks, developing export policies, providing leadership training, and supporting value-added enterprise development for wheat producers. The Commission will compensate NDGGA $360,000 for these services, paid in four quarterly installments of $90,000 from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, with a potential fifth payment determined by the total final revenue collected in the fiscal year. The agreement is set to terminate on June 30, 2024, with provisions for early termination under specific circumstances.
