Help Protect Land Conservation Program
Target: President George W. Bush
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
One of the most successful conservation programs in the U.S. is at risk. The Department of Agriculture is considering releasing 24 of the 35 million acres enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for commercial use.
The penalty-free release of this land would deal a devastating blow to our water, soil, wildlife habitat and efforts to stop global warming. It would be the equivalent of having 11 million more cars on our roads... each year.
CRP is the oldest of the farm bill's voluntary conservation incentives programs, rewarding farmers who take fragile land out of production in order to prevent soil erosion, water pollution and protect vital wildlife habitat for native bees, butterflies, grassland birds, wetland wildlife, and many more animal and plant communities.
Take action today! Help protect these millions of acres in the Conservation Reserve Program that safeguard our soil quality, water quality, and wildlife habitat.

As a 5th generation farmer, I believe in sustainable farming; natural fertilizers; no chemicals; native grasses that prevent soil erosion and provide all natural feed for livestock and wildlife. But agricultural exempts should only be given to those who do sustainable farming and actually farm land and/or raise livestock!!!

You don't seem to understand anything except your avaricious desires and whatever your masters may bid you do. Wouldn't it be wonderful to do something supportive of the planet before you shuffle off this mortal coil? Evidently not; you're beyond help or hope. Too bad...

I urge you to reject proposals to allow the penalty-free release of land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve program(CRP).

CRP has done so many great things. Why do we need to destroy it? We have to think long-term and make changes now - before it is too late.
