About the Council

The Council's membership is comprised of organizations, groups, and businesses who represent a strategic agricultural or related interest in Pennsylvania.   They include trade associations for various agricultural industries; commodity promotion groups and cooperatives; agriculturally-oriented media; organizations who provide products and services to the agribusiness community; governmentally-related organizations with agricultural interests; and more general interests groups.  All membership applications must be approved by a majority vote of the board of directors.

Each member organization appoints a delegate to the Council, who attends meetings twice each year and is eligible for consideration as a nominee to the Council's 12-person Board of Directors, which governs the full Council.
