Membership

The Maine Grass Farmers Network became a membership organization in January, 2008. Dues are $25, and the membership year will run from Jan. 1 through December. We realize that there are many organizations that want your support, and we know that in order for you to want to become a dues-paying member of the Maine Grass Farmers Network, there has to be some value to you for being a member. Here is a list that we came up with of the benefits of membership:

The benefits of membership include:

•  Participation in pasture walks, winter meetings, seminars

•  Newsletter full of useful info and interesting articles

•  Discount off conference registration

•  Listing online and in print product directory

•  Email list

•  Technical support

•  Use of organization’s equipment:
   Gabe Clark writes, “through a Maine NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant the MGFN has been able to purchase two pieces of equipment that will be available to members this spring:

•   A Kuhn Night 8110 side slinger manure spreader (depending on topography approximately a 50hp tractor  needed to operate);

•  A Great Plains 605NT no-till drill (depending on topography approximately a 40hp tractor needed to operate).
