Kansas farmers featured in wheat campaign
4 Feb 2020
Kansas wheat farmers, Gary, Jeremy and Kyler Millershaski, Lakin, are featured in a new video on USDA’s website.
On January 12, 1980, wheat farmer leaders with Great Plains Wheat and Western Wheat Associates officially merged to become one organization, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW), to focus on building overseas demand for U.S. wheat. To mark its 40-year anniversary in 2020, USW has launched an outreach effort to recognize and celebrate the people who produce the wheat and their enduring partnerships with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, wheat buyers and wheat food processors around the world.
