Welcome to the site of the WHEAT GROWERS ACTION GROUP (WAG). This grass roots group of wheat growers strongly opposes the new Wheat Export Marketing legislation that will change the way wheat is exported and marketed from Australia. The legislation takes away growers only ability to collective bargain the sale and movement of their wheat.   It will abolish the Single Desk that provides an orderly marketing system for Australia’s wheat into export markets. It will instead open the market up to many exporters.    Growers fear they’ll be forced to accept lower prices for their wheat as companies compete against each other to secure export markets. They’re deeply concerned that this legislation will have a drastic effect on the future viability of Family Farms through lower farm gate returns and increasing levels of market risk. Surveys show more than 80 per cent of wheat growers want the Single Desk retained. The Wheat Growers Action Group calls upon all Australian Wheat growers to unite and fight for our future.   If you support the aims of this group please register your support here by signing our petition.* *Please note that details of who has signed our petition remain confidential, no information about who has signed the petition will be displayed on this website or petition site.
