Source: National Association of Wheat Growers news release

Washington, D.C. - Today, the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) elected Pat Clements as President during their 2025 Annual Conference in Washington, DC. Clements is a 6th generation wheat grower and livestock farmer from Springfield, KY, and has spent 47 years in the farm supply business. Clements has previously served as chairman of the Kentucky Seed Improvement Association board, chairman of the Kentucky Small Grain Growers Association Promotion Council, and has served 12 years on the local school board.

"It is an honor to be elected as president of NAWG. I look forward to working with fellow wheat growers and lawmakers to build a better future for farmers and rural America," said NAWG President Pat Clements. "As we enter the 119th Congress, it is critical that we continue to urge lawmakers to quickly pass a long-term farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net and provides long-term certainty for our country's producers."

NAWG's Board of Directors elected its new board of officers, with Jamie Kress of Idaho elected as Vice President, Nathan Keane from Montana as Treasurer, and Chris Tanner of Kansas as the new Secretary. Keeff Felty of Oklahoma will transition into the Past President position. Andy Juris of Washington was also elected to the NAWG budget committee.

"NAWG appreciates the time and service Keeff Felty dedicated during his term as NAWG President. Keeff has been an excellent representative for NAWG at Ag industry events across the country this past year," said NAWG CEO Chandler Goule. "I know our incoming President Pat Clements will continue to be a champion for wheat growers and advance NAWG's policy priorities. We look forward to continuing to work with Keeff and Pat as we urge members of congress to get a long-term farm bill passed this year."

All NAWG officers will start their terms on March 5, following the conclusion of the 2025 Commodity Classic in Denver, CO.
