Devyn Meilleur joined the Oregon Wheat Growers League in 2025. Originally from the Columbia Basin, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science Production from the University of Idaho, where her passion for agriculture and animal systems were strengthened.

Devyn lives in Walla Walla, Washington, and is at her happiest outdoors—whether it’s angling, hunting, or exploring the region’s trails. She’s also a fan of live music and values time spent with friends and family, which rounds out her life in Eastern Washington.

In her role, she looks forward to expanding her industry knowledge and building on her experiences to better support Oregon’s producers.
