CAWG’s Current Priorities

Become a Sponsor

By sponsoring you help the organization support legislation that will benefit Colorado’s wheat farmers, as well as the state’s agricultural industry as a whole. CAWG works hard to educate legislators at the state and federal level about issues facing wheat farmers. Your sponsorship would enable CAWG to host and attend events that include Colorado’s legislators, wheat farmers and the agricultural industry.

Take advantage of our experience and dedication to Colorado wheat growers. With your financial support, we can put forth a united front to accomplish our mutual goals.
