Why Membership Matters

Membership with us isn’t just a transaction—it’s a commitment to strengthening Minnesota’s agricultural future. Whether you're a farmer looking for local policy support, resources, and a voice at the table, or a business that values a thriving, resilient rural economy, your membership fuels real change.

As a member, you’re part of a network that works year-round to advocate for practical policy, build stronger rural communities, and ensure farmers and ag-focused businesses have the support they need to succeed. From one-on-one support with our Community Relations Manager to shaping policy that impacts your bottom line, membership connects you to meaningful action and long-term impact.

Together, we grow stronger.
