MEMBERSHIP
The National Farmers Union is a direct-membership organization. Farm families are members by choice. There is no automatic membership through belonging to a commodity organization.
The NFU in District 1, Region 1 (PEI) is totally independent of government, and receives no government funds (although the PEI Department of Agriculture does on occasion help to defray the cost of the annual district convention). For this reason, the NFU is free to take governments to task for anti-farmer policies.
The NFU can be independent because Farm Families support the organization by paying a yearly membership and by buying inputs from companies with which the Union has collective bargaining agreements for discount prices.
The NFU accepts donations from individual supporters.
