On behalf of the Manitoba Forage Council I would like to invite you to become a “Friend of Manitoba
Forage and Grasslands” for a nominal fee of $250 per year. This fundraising endeavour will
ensure the sustainability of the Council and enable us to pursue projects that benefit the entire
forage industry. We are very pleased to be a member of the Canadian Forage & Grassland Association
now. By working with other Councils we can ensure our forage research/marketing needs are
voiced and addressed.

As a friend, you’ll find your logo, and/or name on the home page of our Manitoba Forage Council
website. We have two sections for Friends of Forage & Grasslands; Industry (logos will be revolving
and will be linked to your website) and Individual where company or individual names will be
showcased. On average the site gets between 28,000 visits per year.

We recently launched our electronic newsletter which is distributed to over 700 people 4
times per year. All Friends of Forage and Grassland are recognized in the newsletter with their logo
and one sponsor will be profiled each issue.

Whether you are directly involved in the forage business or a supplier to the industry, your advertising dollars will be well pent. The website draws buyers with all types of needs, from accommodations and meals for upcoming events, to those needing printing, equipment, seed, chemicals and feed etc.

Your $250.00 contribution includes:

• Logo placement under the Industry Section on the Manitoba Forage Council home page:
(with a link to your website) or
• Name placement under the Individual Section on the home page (with a link to your web
site if you don’t have a logo)
• Logo on e-newsletter each issue with link to your site and sponsor profile in one issue
• Notification of upcoming events, publication releases, etc. via e-mail.

Please consider supporting the Manitoba Forage Council and become a friend of Manitoba Forage
and Grasslands.

Cheques can be mailed to the Manitoba Forage Council, c/o 145 Edstan Place, Selkirk, MB R1A 2E8

Receipts will be provided.

Sincerely,
Jim Lintott
Chair, Manitoba Forage Council
