Texas wheat producers association committee members and staff travel extensively to represent the Texas wheat producers interests at a variety of conferences, committee hearings, and industry events, advocating farm policies that are favorable to producers and providing input to legislators in the process of crafting farm legislation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
