Dear Donna,
We need your help to level the playing field for Iowa's family farmers.
The USDA has proposed fair livestock marketing rules that would help put
small and medium-sized farmers on a level playing field, but those rules are
in danger of being rejected. We can make these rules a reality, but we
need Senator Harkin to stand up and show his support for fair farm rules.
_Call Senator Harkin TODAY and urge him to support Iowa's family farmers.
_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=geQRTuKy2NADjha58ezVMWyAxPVRaBow) Iowa's small and medium-sized livestock producers are at
risk of extinction. Farm policies favor large, corporate farms over the
family farmers that Iowa's agricultural history is based on. This makes it
extremely difficult for Iowa's family farmers to survive in today's
marketplace. Senator Harkin needs to hear from his constituents that we want him to
fight to support Iowa's independent farmers. _Join the fight, and call
Senator Harkin today at 202-609-9043!_
(http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=sL6P8ofEktm3MeuRcSvVv2yAxPVRaBow)
The Fair Farm Rules would make it much easier for small and medium-sized
livestock producers to get a fair price for their products. Unfortunately,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is dragging their feet on
finalizing these rules.
Senator Harkin needs to do more to support the implementation of these
vital rules. We not only need Senator Harkin to continue to preserve funding
for the implementation of these rules, we also need him to write a letter to
President Obama to have the USDA implement them immediately.
Together, we can help support Iowa's family livestock producers. Call
Senator Harkin:
