Farmers are suffering, like all of us, from this economic downturn. Prices for farm products have gone down, while the cost of producing a crop has gone up. To make things worse, farmers are finding that loans are harder to come by, and some farmers can’t get the loans they need to plant this spring.

Send and email to your members of Congress and ask them to:

• Ensure that farmers—including beginning farmers—have access to the credit they need to grow our food and our economy.
• Grant farmers the same safeguards that homeowners receive so that farmers facing foreclosure do not lose their farm and their home.
