A Kansas wheat producer is taking over leadership of the U.S. Wheat Associates. Gary Millershaski of Kansas was installed as chairman of the organization's Board of Directors during its summer meeting in Fargo, North Dakota. He succeeds North Dakota wheat farmer Jim Pellman and will serve a one-year term. "Gary has been an active board member and a valuable voice on the officer team," said Mike Spier, USW President and CEO. "He has visited many global markets and established relationships with wheat buyers around the world." Millershaski and his family raise hard red winter wheat, hard white wheat, corn, milo, and run a cow-calf herd in southwest Kansas. U.S. Wheat Associates works to build export demand for American wheat, helping connect U.S. producers with customers around the world and expanding overseas markets for the nation's wheat crop.
