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 is established under the jurisdiction of the State of North Dakota and involves cooperation between a state wheat commission and a grain growers association.

The contract outlines a series 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 and policy development, informing producers about Commission activities, assisting in obtaining research funding, supporting environmental and conservation initiatives, managing market risks, developing export policy support, providing leadership training, and supporting value-added wheat enterprises. In compensation for these services, 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 agreement allows for termination with 120 days' written notice and includes provisions for funding modifications if revenue levels change.
