and last updated 2021-01-25 10:46:07-05
Thereâs a new film available that shows how the people in the export supply system maintain the wholesome and reliable character of U.S. wheat.
The U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) created the new film titled, âWholesome: The Journey of U.S. Wheat. USW Vice President of Communications Steve Mercers says the film supports their mission to promote U.S. wheat exports.
âThrough this film, the people at every step of the journey to export tell their own stories about how they thoughtfully produce new varieties, care for the land and the crop, and handle the wheat responsively to ensure it meets customer needs,â said Mercer. âThis is an educational program that makes the stunning beauty of the land and the emotional attachment of these dependable people to the industry a key part of the story.â
