Wheat growers voted to establish the California Wheat Commission in 1983, expressly to support research that improves California wheat quality and marketability, and to develop and maintain domestic and international markets for California wheat. The Commission, operating under the California Food and Agriculture Code, is funded by wheat growers and is guided by a board which includes thirteen wheat producers, two handlers, two at-large members, and one public member -- each with alternates . California growers planted over 700,000 acres of wheat with a farm value of approximately $337 million for grain produced in 2012.
