PROTECT FUNDING FOR SUSTAINABLE FARMING AND FRESHWATER RESOURCES

WHAT'S HAPPENING

The funding for the programs Illinois farmers rely on to protect our water and soil is at risk. As lawmakers debate what will be included in next year’s state budget, they will decide whether or not funding critical sustainable agriculture programs make the cut.

To protect public health and our water resources, the state budget must secure further funding for conservation programs like the Partners for Conservation program. This funding will help support our farmers working to incorporate more environmentally sustainable practices through the Soil and Water Conservation Districts and popular initiatives like the Fall Covers for Spring Savings Program.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Contact your lawmakers and ask them to support funding for sustainable agriculture programs!

Support HB 1792: The Partners for Nutrient Loss Reduction Act

Subject: Please support the conservation funding outlined in The Partners for Nutrient Loss Reduction Act (HB 1792/SB 2474)

Message:

As your constituent, I am contacting you today to ask that you support increased funding in the state budget for our local farmers and the state programs they need in order to keep our water and soil safe from polluted agricultural runoff. Critical funding for those programs is outlined in the Partners for Nutrient Loss Reduction Act (HB 1792/SB 2474). Illinois farmers rely on these programs to help protect our precious soil and water resources. In order to address the state’s difficulties with implementing the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy, the sunset on the Partners for Conservation program must be extended and further funding for critical sustainable agriculture programs like the Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Fall Covers for Spring Savings must be secured. The health of all Illinoisans is intrinsically tied to the health of our environment, and Illinois should reaffirm its dedication to the protection of our natural resources. Please commit to funding these essential programs. Thank you for your consideration,
