Thank you for your interest in the

Farm Equipment
Manufacturers Association

If you want to sell your products, network within the industry and save money, this is the association for you. From our specialized discount programs, to our twice-monthly newsletter, we will help you get the best value for your dues and help you remain competitive in the specialized agricultural industry.

In addition to our great programs, one of the biggest benefits membership will bring to your company, will be the opportunity to make new contacts within the shortline farm equipment industry.  This is where small manufacturing members can increase their knowledge of what other similar manufacturers are doing in the industry.

With just under 700 members, the Farm Equipment Manufacturers Association reaches out and connects small manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers together, giving them the advantage over their competitors. 

This association was not designed for, nor do we cater to giant tractor corporations.  We represent the small manufacturer of specialized agricultural equipment.  We understand their needs and work hard to be their voice.
