Serving Grain Buyers and Montana Producers

Welcome!

At the Montana Wheat & Barley Committee, we directly fund research with the goal of developing superior plant varieties and best farm practices for generations to come. We cultivate markets by building trade relationships, through educational outreach, and displaying Montana values.

MWBC is a producer-funded arm of the Montana Department of Agriculture. The Committee conducts activities on behalf of growers such as buyer relations, trade team visits, producer relations, marketing, association engagement, funding research and sponsorships for agriculture education.

Call for Directors: District 2 and District 3 director positions will open in June for any interested qualifying parties. If you are interested in serving (3 year terms, maximum 3 terms), please contact Kent Kupfner. Next MWBC board meeting is July 2, 2025 in Havre.
