Oklahoma wheat producer Don Schieber of Kay County has wrapped up his year as the Chairman of US Wheat Associates. Schieber was honored several times during the summer Board of Directors meeting that was held at the Renaissance Hotel in Tulsa July 15th through the 18th. (The picture is from Sunday evening as Don and his wife Celia are honored by both the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and US Wheat Associates.)
As he prepared to turn over the gavel to Randy Suess of Washington state, we talked with Schieber about his time in rotating through the officer chairs and why he felt motivated to get involved in this producer led organization. US Wheat Associates is the international market promotion arm of the US Wheat Industry. U.S. Wheat Associates develops export markets by demonstrating the reliability, choice, and value of U.S. wheat in over 100 countries. Our organization is funded by U.S. wheat producer checkoff dollars managed by 19 state wheat commissions and through cost-share funding provided by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
