How Can You Help the SSCA?

By Blair McClinton, PAg.

Over the past few months, many concerned SSCA members have asked how they can help the SSCA. Here are two ways members can help.

1. Sell SSCA memberships to friends and neighbors, and renew your membership when it comes due. The revenue we receive from memberships supports SSCA's on-going programs. In addition, the larger our member base, the stronger our voice is when it comes to influencing policy makers.
2. Attend the Direct Seeding Conference. It's a great way to get the latest information on direct seeding agronomics and technology. It demonstrates to government and industry that producer interest in direct seeding is still growing. Governments take notice when over 1000 farmers regularly attend a non-political conference that provides information on direct seeding. This also provides us with a stronger voice when dealing with policy makers. When attendance is high at our Conference it demonstrates to industry a high demand from producers for related equipment and technology. In addition to being an important source of production information, the conference is also the largest fundraiser for our organization.
