مستخلص: The article discusses a tour of McNary Dam in Oregon, which was attended by members of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, U.S. Representative Cliff Bentz, and other local officials. The tour highlighted the importance of the Columbia-Snake River System for wheat producers in the state and emphasized the dams' value in power generation and efficient transportation of wheat. The article also mentions the release of the eighth annual Feeding the Economy report, which quantifies the economic impact of the food and agriculture sectors in the U.S. The report reveals significant growth in the total economic impact, with the sector contributing $9.63 trillion to the economy, creating jobs, generating wages, and contributing to tax revenue. The National Association of Wheat Growers sponsored the study, demonstrating their commitment to economic understanding within the wheat farming community. [Extracted from the article]
