Idaho grain farmers have been meeting with top officials and lawmakers in Washington, D.C., and speaking at in-state events recently to build support for their federal legislative priorities. 

Leaders and farmers representing the Idaho Grain Producers Association and the National Barley Growers Association were in the nation’s capitol from Feb. 3 through Feb. 6, participating in meetings with members of Idaho’s congressional delegation and federal entities such as USDA. Organizations representing wheat growers sent officials to lobby in Washington, D.C., in late January.
