Dairy Producers of New Mexico is a member driven organization. Full membership (Producer Membership) is only open to active dairy farmers in New Mexico and Southwest Texas. DPNM’s policies and activities are set and administered by our board of dairy producer directors. Membership in Dairy Producers of New Mexico provides many benefits including a voice in State and Federal Legislature as well as pertinent news updates to help keep Producers informed. Below, you can find the eligibility requirements to become a Producer Member, as well as an extended list of benefits.
Associate Membership is open to individuals and businesses allied with the dairy industry. DPNM relies on our partnership with associate members to help support our mission and our producers. Associate members are the first folks invited to our annual Convention/Trade Show, Auction, and Golf Tournament as well as receive our Dairy Mailing List! Each tier of Associate Membership (Silver, Gold, Platinum) comes with different benefits and opportunities for your business, which can be found below.
As a Trade Organization, Dairy Producers of New Mexico (DPNM) represents the interests of all producers, regardless of cooperative membership or status in New Mexico and West Texas. A Producer Membership will also give you additional access to the private Dairy Producers web page with a log-in. There, you will have exclusive access to contacts, events, helpful news updates, links, and the online version of our monthly news letter. This page will be regularly updated and is a valuable resource in these everchanging times. (Membership Page coming soon!)
