League (O W G L) has announc
ed its 19% convention, calling
on members and non-members
to make plans to attend. The
70th Anniversary Convention
will be held in Pendleton, N o
vember 21-24. Events will be
held at both the Pendleton
Convention Center and the
Red Lion Hotel in Pendleton.
This year's meeting is a new
date format for the Wheat
League. Past meetings have
run from Sunday through
Wednesday, after the Thanks
giving holiday; the 19% con
vention runs from Thursday
through Sunday, the week be
fore Thanksgiving.
"W e invite everyone to come
and celebrate this milestone
with us," said OW GL Presi
dent Jim Stonebrink, a farmer
from Wallowa. "Since 1926, the
Wheat League has been about
the business of advocating and
protecting the interests of Ore
gon's wheat farmers, develop
ing leaders, and providing our
members with tools for suc
cessful farming. As we enter a
whole new era in farm policy,
it will be even more ynportant
to focus our attention as pro
ducers on marketing our crops.
The price guarantees of yester
year are gone," Stonebrink
said.
Marketing is a focus of the
19% convention. A new com
petition will be unveiled at the
convention, allowing pro
ducers to experiment with dif
ferent marketing alternatives
and testing the viability of their
strategies. Participants will
market a hypothetical crop of
wheat throughout a marketing
cycle that is impacted by vari
ous weather and world news
events. A prize will be award
ed to the producer who ex
ecutes the most sound market
ing strategy. "It promises to be
