ACTION ALERTS

Update on the Farm Bill 

Much of the budget negotiations being done right now are behind closed doors and it is difficult to say how organic, sustainable agriculture and conservation will fare in the budget super committee process. Give your senators and representatives a call or email, and tell them that organic certification cost share, organic research and other organic focused programs are important to you and the small piece of the pie these programs represent, produces big results through promotion of organic agriculture. Conservation programs such as EQIP and CSP are also targeted, tell your representatives that we need to promote good conservation on our working lands, in order to have productive farmland now and into the future.

Check out the Organic Trade Association website and the National Sustainable Agriculture Organization website for Farm Bill updates.
