Pacific Northwest Marketing Tour

The Idaho Wheat Commission has conducted a Pacific Northwest Wheat Marketing Tour for nearly 20 years to educate Idaho wheat farmers about where their wheat goes after leaving the farm.

Each year the IWC sponsors 10 wheat growers (selected by their commissioner), in Portland, Oregon. The three-day event allows Idaho wheat growers to learn about the U.S.inspection services, grain shipments, analytical testing, product development and domestic and international uses for their wheat.

The tour is an excellent forum for leaders in Idaho’s wheat industry to gain a greater understanding of Pacific Northwest wheat marketing.

Idaho Crop Residue Burning Program

The crop residue burning (CRB) program is designed to enable growers to burn under certain conditions while protecting public health from smoke impacts. The program is managed by DEQ on lands other than the five Indian Reservations in Idaho.
Idaho Department of Environmental Quality works to ensure clean air, water, and land in the state and protect Idaho citizens from the adverse health impacts of pollution.  Growers must have completed DEQ training in proper burning techniques and good smoke management within the past five years.
