Take Action to Support Conservation Programs for Farmers
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: Environmental Defense
America's farmers, ranchers and forest landowners provide an invaluable service to our country.
They not only produce food and fiber, but they help keep our water clean, our air clean, and our habitats for wildlife safe. The environmental challenges that we are facing cannot be solved unless we reward these landowners who enroll in USDA's voluntary conservation programs.
About 50,000 farmers are rejected every year from these programs due to lack of funds. We need to add $6 billion in new funding to the Farm Bill to help farmers participate in programs that promote conservation.
Tell your Senators to support conservation priorities and make farmland stewardship the centerpiece of the 2007 Farm Bill!

The need help the environment is crucial- we have gone too long with out doing anything to effectively and efficiently stop pollution, help wildlife, help farmers educate themselves about environmentally-safe methods, help farmers maintain such practices, etc. We need to catch up quickly, we need to get this done.
