Dairy farmers who ship their milk through cooperatives are eligible to support Edge. Farmers pay a monthly rate based on the number of cows on their farm. Payments are made via automatic withdrawal.
Supporters can participate on committees, in focus groups and in all Edge events. Due to federal rules, they are not eligible to vote or serve on the board of directors.
