OWGA is a voluntary organization comprised of wheat producers and those interested in the wheat industry. You are not alone when you are a member of the Oklahoma Wheat Growers’ Association. The best way to combat challenging issues facing agriculture is by joining forces with other wheat producers to promote and protect our industry. Standing together we can deal with issues head-on and make an impact on changes that affect your business operation and your family. One membership represents your operation no matter how large or small.
OWGA is a completely separate entity from the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. It provides services, such as regulatory and legislative involvement, that by law cannot be done by the Commission. OWGA is supported financially by your membership. It receives no direct dollars from the check-off program.
