We join our friends at the American Farmland Trust in urging everyone to make their voices heard on the 2007 Farm Bill. Farm bill progress in the Senate is completely stalled. It's imperative a farm bill is passed this year. America's farmers and ranchers deserve a better farm bill, and the progress they've made should not be erased.

The Senate Agriculture Committee needs to hear from you.

Please call both your Senators as soon as you can and tell them to support Dorgan-Grassley. The Dorgan-Grassley amendment will provide more equitable farm aid to small- and medium-scale family farmers. In addition, money saved can be used for important programs to conserve healthy soil and fresh water, fund beginning farmer programs, and undertake organic research.

You can get more information and find your Senators' phone numbers at: American Farmland Trust

Thanks for supporting family farmers and doing your part to create a sustainable future!
