Happy Days are Brewin’
in Milwaukee
Join us by advertising at the
2015 NASCOE National
Convention
August 12-15, 2015
Potawatomi Hotel and Casino
21 years have past since Milwaukee hosted the National NASCOE
Convention and our year in the lime light at the national level returns in
August of 2015! In 1994 Wisconsin was selected to be the host State for the
NASCOE (National Association of USDA – Farm Service Agency County Office
Employees) convention. This is a very competitive process to become the
host state, as all 50 States want to show off their agricultural industry and
businesses closely tied to agriculture to their fellow members from across
the Country.
Who are NASCOE members and who do they represent?
The National Association of USDA’s Farm Service Agency County Office Employees
(NASCOE) is an organization that represents the county level employees of the
Farm Service Agency (FSA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This
professional association represents the interests of all county office employees of
the FSA, regardless of membership. We originally chartered NASCOE In 1959 to
provide a nationwide, nonprofit nonpartisan, nongovernmental association
through which the county committee employees of the Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service (ASCS) could render better service to American
agriculture by having a national medium for the exchange of ideas and
information, and to facilitate closer cooperation in working toward solution of
mutual problems. Our members (over 6,000 strong) work one on one with each
and every farmer and rancher across this country, and over 70% of us are still
actively farming or ranching. The rest of us are either renting our land out to a
neighboring farmer or have moved off the farm and are still helping Mom and Dad
or Grandma or Grandpa on the farm when we can. Our agency is unique in all of
Government as we have a locally elected FSA County Committee that is in place to
help oversee the operations of the office.
How many members do you expect to attend the national convention?
We are planning on 750 to 1,000 members to attend due to the excellent location
in the Midwest in Milwaukee, WI.
Remembering that this is a 100% volunteer organization, and attending the
national convention is 100% out of our members pockets that can attend, they visit
each and every vendors booths and get extra promotional information to bring
back to their offices that are in virtually every County in the United States for their
co-workers to see and share with the farmers and ranchers that they work and live
with in their communities.
How much will it cost for booth space to advertise our products?
There are several options for advertising, we have created the Cheese Club to help
you make the best choice for your products. Here are your cheesy options :
Here is an excerpt of the sponsorship page in our 2014
Convention program. If provided, we will insert your logo on a
sponsorship page in our convention program as well as on
publications issued to attendees throughout the week.
Are you interested in advertising with us?
We have contacted you because we know that you are as passionate
about American Agriculture as we are. Your support of our
organization will be repaid by creating brand recognition with the
national network of NASCOE members. (The majority of whom are
USDA, Farm Service Agency employees.)

visited website, and a well-attended convention.
