County Representatives
Meet The Local County Representatives
County representatives to the North Dakota Wheat Commission are elected by fellow wheat producers. Country representatives elect a district commissioner, participate in an annual meeting, and serve in an advisory role to the Commission.
County representatives serve four year terms and elections are held in each district on a rotational basis. Elections were held in 2025 for districts 2 and 5, and will be held in 2026 for districts 3 and 6 and 2028 for districts 1 and 4. The governor will appoint the commissioner-at-large in 2027.
Only wheat producers who are residents of the particular county are eligible to vote and to serve as county representatives. This means they must be actually engaged in the production of wheat.
For more information on producer eligibility, view the enabling legislation.
