A Proud History

“It is often said that history is easier read than made. The pages of this historic 50th anniversary book of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers showcase the people and the policies of this organization and its focus on the betterment of Canadian agriculture.”

– from the Forward by the Honourable Gerry Ritz, P.C.

Founded in 1970, the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association is a voluntary farmer-run advocacy organization representing members from across the Prairie provinces. We are dedicated to developing public policy solutions that strengthen the profitability and sustainability of farming, and the agricultural industry as a whole.

The Warriors for Wheat covers the second 25 years of the organization’s history, from 1995-2020. A previous book, Changing the Voice of the Prairie Wheat Grower, was published in 1995 to tell the story of our first 25 years.
