Idaho Grain Producers Assn

Publications: igpa serves as editor of a quarterly magazine that reports on issues, trends, research, statistics, and other topics to a circulation of 13,000 farmers and agribusinesses. This publication is a joint effort with the idaho wheat commission and the idaho barley commission. Additionally, igpa communicates through newsletters, bi-weekly harvesters (a smaller, more frequent newsletter), and emails to report pertinent information to grower members. Igpa also maintains a website and a social media presence on facebook, instagram, and twitter to engage its membership and the general public.

Conventions: igpa sponsors, promotes, hosts, and/or attends various state, regional, and national meetings and conventions each year. Annual conventions include the national association of wheat growers (nawg) fall and winter board of directors meetings and the annual commodity classic convention. In addition, igpa attends two (winter and summer) national board meetings annually of the national barley growers association. We also participate in other strategic meetings or trips to gather information and/or to testify on issues specific to the grain industry. Igpa hosts an annual convention in conjunction with oregon and washington, the tri-state grain growers convention, which serves as an educational and networking forum for growers, in addition to two (fall and winter)igpa board meetings in boise.
