Membership
We extend to you an invitation to form your own State
Cooperative of the UNITED Potato Growers. Through the
years we have watched the boom and bust cycle of the potato
market repeat itself over and over and in its wake leave
dashed hopes and broken dreams, not to mention the financial
devastation and the effects on our communities and families.
To your credit you have survived and perhaps even prospered
at times. But it is time for us to work smarter, not harder,
and take ownership of our potato growing industry and our
future. If you are not sure whether your state already has
formed a UNITED Cooperative, please check those
who have organized here.
Why should I join?
Potato growers have been struggling for many years to receive a reasonable return for their product. In recent years, supply has been greater than demand, and growers have not been able to receive a viable price. Many growers have gone out of business. By joining United Potato Growers of Canada, you can help bring stability to the industry. A stable industry is good for your operation and for the entire industry.
