The National Association of Wheat Growers Foundation Development Committee is concentrating on strategic planning. During last week's meeting in Canada, the committee focused on ways to implement initiatives developed earlier this year. Those efforts include plans to increase wheat yields 20 percent within ten years; capture energy opportunities, including cellulosic ethanol production and improve risk management opportunities for wheat growers. After the committee meeting wrapped up, NAWG representatives met with Canadian wheat industry leaders to discuss biotechnology commercialization.
