WISCONSIN AGRI-SERVICE ASSOCIATION

Focused on the Growth and Economic Performance of the Feed, Seed, Grain and Farm Supply Industries of Wisconsin

Text Box: Why Belong To WASA There is strength in a group not achievable by an individual. WASA provides a structure for the feed, seed, grain and farm supply industries to work as a group. Members of WASA have the opportunity to participate in the development of positions that WASA will take on legislative, regulatory and other issues which affect your business. WASA provides a means for business contacts, exchange of ideas, communication, and improving business skills. Become a WASA member by completing the Membership Application. Legislation WASA represents your interests in Madison during the legislative session, and with individual legislators throughout the year. Through involvement with regional and state associations, we monitor action in Washington, D.C. and other states. Federal & State Agencies WASA works with various state agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the Department of Natural Resources, as well as the Departments of Transportation and Commerce, in development and review of rules regulating your business. Other federal and state agencies are frequently contacted for input of ideas and information. Loss Control Program and Drug & Alcohol Testing Consortium WASA has developed a turn-key, hands-on Safety and Compliance Program. This is not a downloaded program from the Internet, no guidance program. It is customized for each member’s operations and includes in-person, on-site mandated trainings for operational employees. It is designed for already busy managers who want their questions answered authoritatively and have their operations in as best compliance is possible. WASA also runs an in-house drug & alcohol testing consortium program for compliance with USDOT commercial driver’s license requirements. This cost competitive program offers the alternatives of either on-site or clinic collection to members. University of Wisconsin– Madison, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) WASA cooperates with CALS in the development and presentation of the 4-State Dairy Nutrition & Management Conference, grower and industry meetings, and other activities involving CALS Research and Extension divisions. Agricultural Associations WASA coordinates and communicates with other agricultural associations on legislative and regulatory activities which mutually affect the Wisconsin agriculture community. In addition, WASA is an active member of the Wisconsin Agriculture Coalition. Working together, we are more effective in presenting one agriculture industry position. Information WASA members are kept informed through monthly newsletters, special reports, committees, seminars, meetings, and personal contacts. WASA is a member driven association. We count on your continued support to remain the strong advocate, communicator, and educator of your industry in Wisconsin.  We hope to hear from you soon and, as always, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
