“What does it mean to be a member of CAFA?
It’s like being at a professional conference ALL year long where you have access to:

• People who have the same interest and passion as you do
• A vast wealth of information relating to agriculture – producer level, value-added level, consultant level, and governmental level.
• Opportunity to develop a book of business by networking
• Peers who provide specialty advice on various topics relating to agriculture
• A director and board who are recognized nationally for their expertise in farm advising and who continually strive to maintain a high standard of professionalism in the membership.

CAFA has truly enriched my personal and business life.  The conferences are awesome, speakers are always interesting and knowledgeable in their fields, and self-learning opportunities are boundless.  What more can I say – other than I am grateful I am a member of this great organization, known as CAFA!!!”
