Washington Exports Wheat for the World.
This issue is all about Wheat, Wheat, Wheat. Acre pre acre, no state can match Washington's abundant wheat production. Today, the Northwest is the principal white wheat-producing area in the United States, and a major supplier for both national and international markets. Nearly $15 billion in food and agricultural products were exported through Washington ports in 2008–the third largest total in the U.S..
Washington wheat farmers grow five classes of wheat: soft white, hard red winter, hard red spring, hard white and durum. From Grays Harbor County and over the Cascades into the #1 producer Whitman County, wheat ranks in the top 3 most valuable crops of our state with a value of $925 million.
