Goule Selected as New NAWG CEO

Washington, DC - The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) announced today the selection of Chandler Goule as its new Chief Executive Officer. Goule, currently Senior Vice President of Programs at the National Farmers Union (NFU), comes to NAWG with eleven years of agriculture policy experience on the House side of Capitol Hill and will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer beginning July 5. NAWG has been conducting a nation-wide search for a new Chief Executive Officer to fill the vacancy left by Jim Palmer, who announced in April his intention to step down to spend more time with family and on his Missouri farm.

“NAWG is very pleased to have Chandler on board,” said NAWG President Gordon Stoner,

He was appointed Senior Vice President of NFU Programs in 2014.

“The U.S. wheat industry is poised to reach new heights in both production and quality,” stated NAWG CEO-designate Goule. “I am thrilled and honored to have this opportunity to work alongside our national wheat grower leaders in positioning NAWG and NWF as pre-eminent wheat advocacy and educational organizations as we begin to develop strategy for making wheat a major player in the drafting of the next farm bill.”

Stoner believes that with the experience Goule gained in his legislative work in Congressional offices, as well as his leadership experience on the House Ag Committee and at the NFU, and his work on three previous Farm Bills, Goule will provide beneficial policy and legislative guidance to NAWG as it develops priorities for the next farm bill.

“Chandler Goule is the right person, in the right place, at the right time for the wheat industry,” added Stoner. “NAWG is excited to begin writing the next chapter in advancing the wheat

    In summary, in response to the question; “How successful are the defences in your chosen area?” I feel that the defences in Walton-on-the-Naze are successful to a certain extent due to the following reasons. Firstly, some resources showed that the defences were socially sustainable while other resources highlighted the fact that they were economically sustainable even if they weren’t aesthetically pleasing. This was also the case for defences that were more environmentally sustainable. The different types of defences all had a varying amount of these 3 categories, some being more successful in one area than another. For example, sea walls are more economically sustainable because, even though they are the most expensive defence, they have the longest lifespan due to the durable material they are constricted from (concrete). However, because of this construction and installation technique, it wouldn’t be environmentally or socially sustainable as it would cause a lot of noise and might deter wildlife from the area temporarily. The defence with the highest level of social sustainability is beach replenishment because it doesn’t visually change the area too much and would help attract tourists to the area. It would also cause limited disturbance to the residents which gives it the social aspect. On the other hand, it isn’t economically sustainable because it wouldn’t be cost effective to replenish the whole coast of Walton as certain areas are more prone to erosion, meaning the…

    The Commerce Clause allows Congress the authority to regulate the price of wheat to the extent that farmers could produce wheat to meet their own home needs, the demand for wheat is affected. While Filburn’s production alone may have a minimal effect on commerce, the combination of these minimal productions would have a substantial effect on commerce. Although Filburn’s planting is local it can still be regulated by Congress as it has the potential to have a substantial economic effect on commerce, regardless whether that affect is direct or indirect.…

    | The farmers of our state have asked that we introduce legislation to provide subsidies for soybeans. Unfortunately, we will have to turn down their request. If we give subsidies to the soybean farmers, then the corn and wheat growers will ask for the same thing. Then it will be the cotton growers, citrus growers, truck farmers, and cattle raisers. In the end, the cost will be astronomical.Answer…

    1. Anton Rabie and Ronnen Harary created a product that allowed customers to express their own creativity through styling grass hair that sprouted from a small humanlike head. They called this product Earth Buddy and the popularity soon spread like wildfire. Product sales started through Toronto-area flower shops and gift stores but as demand increased they were able to start distributing Earth Buddy at K-Mart, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and stores alike. However, the production of Earth Buddies were time consuming and very dependent on the weather. The production process had a total of seven steps. The first step was filling which included six machines that filled the basic round heads with nylon stocking, sawdust and grass seed. The next step operators shaped the product’s eye-glasses. The rest of the process included moulding the face, placing the glasses on the nose, and gluing the buddies eyes in. Next the buddies were sent to the painter who finished off the buddy with a fabric paint mouth. The last step was to place the product on shelving to dry. In the right conditions, this step took about five hours, however, if humidity levels were higher, drying time increased to seven hours.…

    In order to be able to sell food cheaper we have begun adding chemicals like GMOs and pesticides to our crops and containing our animals through the use of AFOs. Over the past century American agriculture has dramatically changed due to the fact that small, commercial farms are finding it harder and harder to compete with large-scale (mostly indoor) animal feeding operations (AFOs). Agricultural occupations such as farming often do not offer economic prosperity, thus pushing workers to seek financial advances. Many farmers look to GMOs and AFOs because they provide an easier way to gain surplus in the product. Pesticides and steroids are examples, as they alter growth providing larger products faster. Knowing these practices have major negative effects, farmers still use these outlets as a means to gain advantage over other competitors. Centner sees a worsening situation, as individual farmers are finding it necessary to alter their practices and hurting the environment for financial reasons. An example of this is the new terminator gene spoken of on pg. 86, which is said to be more harmful to the environment than helpful. Since farmers grow so much food using pesticides and GMOs, there is talk to find a way to limit production, allowing for conservation. Programs are being looked into where we can pay farmers through grants and…
