This document is a Memorandum of Agreement between the North Dakota Wheat Commission (the Commission) and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association (NDGGA), established on July 1, 2021. The agreement involves two North Dakota state-level agricultural organizations, with the Commission being established by the state legislature to foster and promote wheat market development, education, publicity, research, and related activities.

The contract outlines a comprehensive set of services to be performed by NDGGA, including developing domestic farm policy beneficial to North Dakota wheat and durum producers, paying dues to national trade associations, participating in Commission meetings, assisting in informing producers about Commission activities, obtaining research funding, supporting environmental and conservation efforts, managing market risks, and providing leadership training. In compensation for these services, the Commission will pay NDGGA $360,000 in four quarterly installments of $90,000 from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, with a fifth payment determined by the total final revenue collected in the fiscal year. The agreement is valid for one year and includes provisions for termination, insurance requirements, and comprehensive legal protections for both parties.
