The Washington Grain Commission (WGC) has recently updated our wheat and barley assessment collection details to better reflect RCW 15.115.
The grain elevator industry has been a reliable partner since the establishment of the Commission in 1958, regularly submitting producer assessments, but the grain elevator industry isn’t the only industry that is required to submit assessments to the WGC. Any handler or first point of sale purchaser of Eastern Washington wheat and barley, including craft brewers, distillers, flour mills, feedlots and dairy operations, as well as producers in farmer-to-farmer sales and direct to consumer transactions, also have an obligation to report and remit assessment income.
