2021 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention wraps up

The wheat organizations of Idaho, Oregon and Washington want to thank everybody who made the 2021 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention possible. Join us next year

Congratulations to Alex McGregor, Washington Association of Wheat Growers Member of the Year. Alex couldn’t attend convention, but he send in a video accepting the award.

Columbia County was named Washington Association of Wheat Growers County of the Year.

We said goodbye to outgoing president Ryan Poe and welcomed Howard McDonald as the incoming president. We also welcomed Anthony Smith from Benton County as WAWG’s new secretary/treasurer.

Congratulations also to our newest ambassadors, Cady Zellmer and Tate Nonnemacher. We had some technical issues playing their videos, so here’s a link to Cady’s and to Tate’s.

And finally, the 2021 Tri-State Grain Growers Convention video.

WAWG leaders for the coming year are Anthony Smith from Benton County, secretary/treasurer; Michelle Hennings, executive director; Ryan Poe from Grant County, past president; Andy Juris from Klickitat County, vice president; and Howard McDonald from Douglas County, president.

Our newest ambassadors are Tate Nonnemacher and Cady Zellmer, shown here with WAWG President Howard McDonald.

Flags were presented by Fairchild Air Force Base Honor Guard at the opening breakfast.

The silent auction raises funds for all three states’ foundations.

Washington State Department of Agriculture Director Derek Sandison and Michelle Hennings, WAWG’s executive director.

The convention wouldn’t be as successful without the support of our sponsors, industry supporters and exhibitors. Thank you.
