Act Now on Payment Limits and Rural Development

Congress is beginning deliberations over a new farm and rural policy bill slated for this year, and you have a unique opportunity to make a difference.

We are targeting representatives in Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota. If you are from one of these states you can make a difference right now. If you are not from one of these states you can still make a difference by sending your letter to Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Tom Harkin or House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson.

We are asking supporters in Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, and Montana to write to their targeted Senator about payment limitations.

We are asking supporters in Minnesota, and North Dakota to write to their targeted representatives about rural development.

Anyone can participate in this campaign by writing to the House or Senate Agriculture Committee Chair.
