Welcome to the The Grower Advantage!
For years, you’ve known us through Wheat Advantage in the Prairie Grains Newsletter, arriving six times a year. We’re moving to a new home — your inbox, every other Wednesday.
Why the change? Printing and mailing a magazine six times a year isn’t cheap, and we’d rather put those dollars toward programs that directly benefit South Dakota wheat growers. Just as important, wheat news doesn’t wait for a print deadline. This format lets us get you timely updates — markets, weather, policy, research, events — right when they matter, instead of bundled into a handful of issues throughout the year.
The spirit stays the same: a straightforward, grower-focused update from our office. Just a better way of getting it to you.
A couple of housekeeping notes to make sure this lands in your inbox:
Add SDWGA@mail.beehiiv.com to your contacts or safe senders list. This helps ensure The Grower Advantage reaches your inbox and doesn’t get lost in a spam or promotions folder.
We also want to make sure you’re getting everything relevant to you. SDWGA sends out a few different types of electronic communications, and you’re welcome to subscribe to any or all of them:
- The Grower Advantage — our new biweekly enewsletter
- Calls to Action — timely alerts when we need growers to engage on a specific issue
- Media Releases — official SDWGA announcements and news
If there’s a neighbor, fellow grower, or family member who’d benefit from any of these, feel free to pass along our sign-up page — the more growers who stay informed, the stronger our voice.
Quick Take
Short on time? Hit play. Each issue, we’ll break down the most important highlights from The Grower Advantage in a quick 1–3 minute audio recap — perfect for the drive to the field or a coffee break. You’ll get the need-to-know updates without having to read the whole newsletter, though we’ll always have the full details here if you want to dig deeper.
Thanks for making the switch with us — we’re glad to have you here.
