The National Association of Wheat Growers board of directors passed a resolution inviting the North Dakota Grain Growers Association to rejoin the association ahead of the next farm bill. Newly-elected NAWG President Nicole Berg said the vote was unanimous. “We’ll be sending a letter in the next few days.” After the 2019 Commodity Classic, the North Dakota Grain Growers Association decided to leave NAWG. At the time, the NDGGA said NAWG was slow to respond to their concerns. In the last year, NAWG visited North Dakota to chat. “We had a facilitated session with North Dakota’s board and the executive committee. We had a list of things they wanted done and we checked them all off the list,” said Berg. “I’m proud we got these things done and I hope North Dakota comes back.” In response, the NDGGA told the Red River Farm Network they’ll be watching for NAWG’s letter and whatever decision is made require a board review before making a decision.
