ACTION TODAY! I called, did you?

Posted: June 13 2012

Today, the full U.S. Senate is debating the 2012 Farm Bill.
Organic farmers need you to call your Senators TODAY.

It's an easy call. Let's make sure our families receive healthy food for many years to come.
PROTECT ORGANIC FARMERS IN THE 2012 FARM BILL-- CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW.
Please call both of your Senators: Visit http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ to find your representative's phone number.
Here's what we ask our Senators to do:

  • Vote YES on the Merkely Organic Crop Insurance Amendment. This makes crop insurance more accessible for organic farmers.
  • Vote YES on the Brown Beginning Farmer and Rural Development Amendment. Where will we be without future organic farmers?!
  • Vote NO WAY! on the Toomey Organic Certification Cost Share Amendment. This will deny access to organic certification to thousands of organic farmers.
