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, 2019 to June 30, 2020. The agreement involves two North Dakota state agricultural organizations collaborating to support wheat industry development, marketing, and policy initiatives.

Under the agreement, the NDGGA will perform various services including developing domestic farm policy beneficial to North Dakota wheat and durum producers, paying dues to national trade associations, participating in Commission meetings, informing producers about Commission activities, assisting in obtaining research funding, supporting environmental and conservation efforts, managing market risks, developing export policies, providing leadership training, and supporting value-added wheat enterprises. In exchange, the Commission will provide $360,000 in funding, paid in four quarterly installments of $90,000 each. The fifth and final payment amount will be determined by the total final revenue collected in the 2019-2020 fiscal year, with the current estimate being $450,000. The agreement includes provisions for termination, insurance requirements, confidentiality, and compliance with state regulations.
