About the Mid-America Christmas Tree Association

MACT Objectives:

●  To provide an opportunity for state and MACT members to observe, try out and be exposed to the latest ideas, materials and equipment related to the Christmas Tree Industry.

●  To avoid being in competition with other meetings for the state and MACT members by eliminating one extra meeting each year.

●  To provide the participating state with added attractions for its membership and give the MACT members a chance to see what is happening with the industry in other states.

●  To provide an annual trade show for the largest possible assemblage of Christmas tree growers throughout the Midwest.

How will MACT benefit you?

The Mid-America Christmas Tree Association by soliciting; arranging for; and bringing more exhibitors of tools, supplies and equipment to the state meetings throughout the Midwest will give you the opportunity to see, tryout ("Hands ON" experience) and purchase, saving shipping costs, the latest equipment related to the Christmas tree industry.

The Mid-America Christmas Tree Association by having joint meetings with the state associations makes it possible to bring nationally recognized speakers to present meaningful seminars to the meetings and for you to be able to ask specific questions about how to solve some of your tree growing or marketing problems. Exhibitors benefit from the exposure to a larger customer base.

Your attendance at these meetings will give you the opportunity to learn of growing methods and cultural techniques successful in other parts of the Midwest.

Membership in the Mid-America Christmas Tree Association gives you an opportunity to shape the policies and address the problems facing the Christmas tree industry and to meet and make new friends with growers in other states

With your membership you will also receive a Mid-America Christmas Tree Association semi-annual newsletter and a yearly membership list. You will also receive, if not receiving it through your state organization, Christmas Trees magazine.  Christmas Trees is a magazine of plantation management for Christmas Tree growers, wholesale and retail, covering various aspects of grower operations from planting, insect and weed control, to shearing, shaping and marketing.

How do I join MACT?

The membership fee, which is due January 1st of each year, is only $25.00. For growers, this is close to the price of one tree and for exhibitors, much lower than you usually pay to other associations.
