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.

Put conservation in strongly and remove the farmers who aren't really farmers but get subsidies just to till weeds under each year. Happens in Arizona!
