This document is a Memorandum of Agreement between the North Dakota Wheat Commission (the "Commission") and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association (the "NDGGA"), effective from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. The agreement involves two North Dakota agricultural organizations focused on wheat industry development, marketing, and policy.

Under the contract, NDGGA will provide services including developing domestic farm policy beneficial to North Dakota wheat and durum producers, paying dues to national trade associations, participating in Commission meetings and policy development, informing producers about Commission activities, assisting in obtaining research funding, supporting environmental and conservation initiatives, managing market risks, developing export policy recommendations, providing leadership training, and supporting value-added wheat enterprises. In compensation, the Commission will pay NDGGA $360,000 in four quarterly installments of $90,000 each, with the total contract amount estimated at $450,000 based on current North Dakota wheat development project budgets. The fifth and final payment amount will be determined by the total final revenue collected in the fiscal year 2020-21.
