Farm Bill Update

Source: Texas Outdoors [ Found in: News ] Created: 12/12/2007 16:33
Summary:

The most important call you make this hunting season might not be the one that goes “quack.”

The U.S. Senate is in the final stages of debating the 2007 Farm Bill, and your calls to your Senators are more important than ever.

Every phone call you make to your Senators to remind them of the importance of the Conservation Reserve Program, the Wetlands Reserve Program, the Grasslands Reserve Program, and Sodsaver helps Ducks Unlimited take one step closer to fulfilling our mission of skies full of waterfowl, now and forever.

The message is simple – Support Conservation. Tell your Senators to support Sodsaver to protect the remaining native prairie. Tell them to support the Wetlands Reserve Program, and fix the appraisal issue that has discouraged landowners from conserving their land. Tell them to support the Conservation Reserve Program and not allow lands enrolled in the program to be used for biofuel crops.

So on your way to the blind, before you start making ducks calls, make a call for the ducks. Tell your Senators to support conservation, and support the ducks!

Contact Your Senators!
