>SAVE FUND FOR RURAL AMERICA AND CONSERVATION FARM OPTION $$
>Wednesday, June 17, 1998
>
>Please call both of your U.S. Senators ASAP at the phone number below.
>Urge them to PUSH to restore the full $25 million for the CONSERVATION FARM
>OPTION (CFO) program and $60 million for the FUND FOR RURAL AMERICA, both
>of which were ZERO-funded by the Senate Appropriations Committee last week!
>
>* The CONSERVATION FARM OPTION program is a new 1996 Farm Bill program
>which promotes innovative sustainable agriculture practices. It gives
>farmers an incentive to develop a whole farm plan and payments for field
>testing new practices.
>
>* The FUND FOR RURAL AMERICA was also authorized in the 1996 Farm Bill and
>was crucial to its passage. It provides funding for research and rural
>development initiatives that are environmentally responsible, strengthen
>farmers' profitability and build rural communities.
>
>Both of these programs were funded as mandatory programs in the Farm Bill.
>Thus their funding should not even be challenged. Congress gained support
>for the controversial Farm Bill largely by promising farmers and rural
>communities to fund these programs; failing to fund them now breaks that
>serious commitment.
>
>We expect the agricultural appropriations bill to get to the Senate floor
>soon, possibly early next week. Tell your senators YOU WANT THEM TO
>SUPPORT FLOOR AMENDMENTS TO RESTORE FUNDING for both of these crucial
>programs.
>
>IT'S EASY TO CALL. Call the Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask for
>both of your senators' office numbers (they can put you through to one of
>them). If you can't reach the person handling agriculture appropriations,
>please leave a message with your name, phone number and main points.
>
>THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ACTING QUICKLY!
