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.

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!

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: http://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8423
