The Journey of Washington Wheat: From Harvest to Global Markets

Washington State is famous for its stunning landscapes and agricultural diversity, with wheat standing tall as one of its most important crops. First cultivated in the 1820s, wheat quickly became the backbone of eastern Washington’s economy. Today, over 4,000 farms produce millions of bushels of high-quality wheat each year, much of it destined for international markets.
