Founded in 1970 as the Palliser Wheat Growers Association, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association is a voluntary farm organization dedicated to creating a policy environment that improves the profitability and sustainability of farming and the agricultural industry as a whole.

Our membership consists of progressive farmers and entrepreneurs who believe open and competitive markets, innovation, and investment are key to creating a stronger and more prosperous agricultural sector.   We are governed by a voluntary board of directors, all of whom are farmers who share a passion for agriculture and a determination to make farming more profitable.
