Membership fee lowered
Individual growers can now join PSA as associate members for $500 per year after recent action taken by the board of directors to lower the cost from $1,000 annually.
Growers do not need to join to participate in the PSA program.
Membership benefits include discounts on event registrations and merchandise as well as recognition on the PSA website.
In the program, 420 growers across North America, representing 589,120 potato acres, completed an on-farm self-assessment for the 2023 crop year.
Participating growers received a benchmark report providing insight and measuring performance in areas such as biodiversity and habitat, water impact, soil health and management practices.
