Support Conservation Funding in the Farm Bill!
Target: U.S. Senate, U.S. CongressSponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
The Senate passed its version of the Farm Bill in December, 2007, providing some important conservation funding increases.
The House and Senate now must reconcile the differences between the two versions of the bill and produce a final bill for the president to sign. It's critical for Congress to produce a final bill that includes $5.1 billion in additional conservation program funding - the level provided in the Senate bill - and makes some reasonable reforms to farm subsidy programs.
Tell your Representatives and Senators not to cut funding for USDA's voluntary conservation incentives programs and to take that message to Congressional and Agriculture Committee Leadership.

Conservation techniques are so important to develop. Our children are going to have to be educated on conservation to survive. Please do not cut funding from this program.

We understand that while this Farm bill contains all kinds of subsidies that destroy cultures and families in the U.S. as well as in undeveloped countries, efforts to include funding for green programs that promote wind energy and other environmentally sound alternatives are lacking. We believe that it is time to support funding that will help build the economies of the world, especially ours. This can be achieved by promoting funding for conservation and alternative energy programs.
