Act for Farm Bill Reform on the Senate Floor
We expect the full Senate to take up the farm bill early next week. When they do, all 100 Senators will vote on the central issue of farm bill reform -- ending unlimited farm subsidies payments. The entire farm bill debate is in its final stages, and we expect the vote for REAL reform to be close.
Like the widely denounced House bill, the bill being sent to the Senate floor by the Senate Agriculture Committee includes phony reform that continues multi-million dollar payments to the nation's largest farms.
We are working hard to stem the tide, but we need your help to win this key vote. Your action now, together with thousands of others across America, will help put an end to farm bills that destroy family farming and rural communities.
Click here to write to your Senators and urge them Senate to vote FOR the Dorgan-Grassley Amendment.
The Dorgan-Grassley payment limits amendment will put an end to unlimited payments and million-dollar subsidy checks. The amendment closes farm program loopholes and sets a hard $250,000 cap on payments.
Programs that invest in rural economic development, conservation, and beginning farmers will create a future for rural America, and we can use the savings from real payment limits to fund them. Your action today will help us win a farm bill that stops over-subsidizing the nation's largest farms and starts investing in our future.
Whether you have acted before or not, it is critical to act before this vote to help secure a farm bill that closes the loopholes and ends unlimited payments.
