The Idaho Wheat Commission is a quasi-state agency created by wheat producers in 1958. The beginnings of the commission are credited to a hand full of men who had a vision to see an organization established which would help create and maintain new markets for Idaho wheat.
The IWC is funded by a .015-cent assessment on each bushel of wheat sold. The IWC has a board of 5 wheat producers appointed by the Governor. They are required by law to be wheat producers. The Commissioners oversee and approve the IWC budget and activities. Each Commissioner serves a 5-year term and represents a specified district in Idaho.
The purpose of forming a grower organization was primarily for the development of overseas markets for Idaho wheat. Today the Idaho Wheat Commission continues to aid in market development as well as investing producer funds into research and providing information and education to the Idaho wheat grower.
IWC Mission Statement: “The Idaho Wheat Commission strives to maximize profitability for Idaho wheat producers by investing funds in market development, research, and information and education.
