BISMARCK – The North Dakota Wheat Commission has announced upcoming elections for county representatives in the South Central (District 3) and Northeast (District 6) regions. These elections offer local producers a direct voice in how wheat checkoff funds are invested to benefit local producers.

The District 3 election is for the counties of Burleigh, Eddy, Emmons, Foster, Kidder, Logan, Mcintosh, McLean, Sheridan, Stutsman, and Wells. All active wheat producers who reside in the counties and have not requested a checkoff refund in the past 12 months pay vote.

Election dates and specific meeting locations are being finalized. Producers can contact the commission office at 328-5111 or email ndwheat@ndwheat.com for dates and locations. They also can visit with their local county Extension agents for details.
