In an effort to recognize that today's farms are operated by more than one person, the SSCA recently added a "Farming Unit Membership" status. Farming Unit Members will function as Full Members with full voting privileges. This new membership allows for the names of other farming unit partners(i.e., spouse, children, brother, partner, etc.) as part of the Farming Unit Membership. Each Farming Unit will have one vote with the SSCA, and receive one copy of the Prairie Steward and other mailings. However, all other membership benefits like conference discounts and the Members Benefit Plan would be available to every person in the farming unit registered with the SSCA under the Farming Unit Membership.
As with a Full Membership, the Farming Unit Membership fee is $100 for 3 years. There is a $25 registration fee for each additional name added under the Farming Unit Membership. If you are currently a member of the SSCA, you can convert to a Farming Unit Membership by sending the additional names along with the registration fee to the SSCA. If you have any questions about the new Farming Unit Membership, please contact the SSCA at 306-695-4233.
