This is from the Organic Farming Research Foundation:
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.
"This farm bill represents the single greatest opportunity since the beginning of U.S. agricultural policy to improve our food systems, health, economy and the environment."
Will Harris
Grass-fed beef, pastured poultry and organic vegetable producer in southern Georgia.
Please call both of your Senators:
Senator Dianne Feinstein (202) 224-3841
Senator Barbara Boxer (202) 224-3553

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.
Your action today is critical to the future of organic farmers in America.
Thrive Organically,
Maureen Wilmot
Executive Director
P.S. You'll find a summary of the bill's organic provisions here.
