83rd OREGON LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY--2025 Regular Session
Enrolled
House Concurrent Resolution 12
Sponsored by Representatives OWENS, LEVY B, SCHARF, BOSHART DAVIS, Senators MCLANE,
NASH; Senators LIEBER, PATTERSON
Whereas in February 1926, recognizing the power of collaboration, more than 200 wheat
growers, grain handlers, grain millers and marketers gathered in Moro, Oregon, to share research
and information about seed sourcing, marketing and grain transportation; and
Whereas the result of that meeting was the Eastern Oregon Wheat League, established in 1926,
the first wheat commodity organization in the United States; and
Whereas in 1948, the league changed its name to the Oregon Wheat Growers League; and
Whereas wheat is a crucial piece of Oregon’s diverse and productive agricultural sector; and
Whereas wheat is grown in all corners of Oregon, contributing to the health and economic
well-being of the entire state; and
Whereas wheat produced by Oregon farmers consistently remains one of the most valuable
Oregon agricultural commodities; and
Whereas Oregon wheat is widely respected in major markets around the world for its superior
quality; and
Whereas exports of Oregon wheat result in annual direct and indirect economic output of nearly
$1 billion; and
Whereas Oregon wheat is a significant component of the state’s international trade, and many
nations send wheat trade delegations to Oregon on a regular basis, enhancing the state’s interna-
tional stature; and
Whereas wheat is a whole grain that provides numerous health benefits and is an excellent
source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants; and
Whereas Oregon wheat feeds the world through domestic consumption, local and international
aid donations and exports; and
Whereas 2026 will mark the 100th anniversary of the Oregon Wheat Growers League; now,
therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon:
That we, the members of the Eighty-third Legislative Assembly, designate February 11, 2026, as
Oregon Wheat Day; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution shall be presented to the Oregon Wheat Growers
League.
