Online Directory

UPDATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION ONLINE

Rick Exner

So you’ve given up raising chickens in favor of ostrich? Started farming with terraces? Finally hooked up with email? These bits of information are significant to PFI. And now you can do your own updates via the PFI website. The changes you make will appear in the online database after a few days. You can make sure we have your current address and that we know you have taken up rotational grazing of elephants.

To enter the PFI membership database, start with www.pfi.iastate.edu and go to member services area. Type in your last name or organization/farm name as it appears on the label of your PFI newsletter. Also enter your membership ID. Didn't know you had a member ID? It too appears on the mailing label, likely just below your name. This will take you to both the membership database and the new online PFI directory.

Find out about other PFI members’ practices interests and innovations

This online form lets you send your information changes directly to the PFI staff.

Can't lay your hands on your old copy of the PFI Directory? Now the PFI website can supply up-to-date information on your fellow PFI members. The Online Directory contains the same types of information as the hard copy, with tables organized by farming and marketing practices, skills and interests, and geography. The tables are searchable, meaning you can select just those records that have what you are looking for.

The Online Member Directory is just like the paper version, in that you must give permission for PFI to share your information in order to have access to the directory yourself. A couple of check boxes are provided on the web page so that you can join both the Directory and the Online Directory. Those changes will also be registered in a matter of days.
