HAPPY
HOLIDAYS!

Dear Rural UPdates! Readers,
Over the last year we have
achieved many successes pursuing food policy that truly serves
rural American economies and their environment. While the phone
calls, the letter writing, the emails may seem tiring and
tedious, never doubt they are making a difference!
Among our accomplishments, none
is more important than how each of you through your individual
action is helping to foster a sense of community and common
purpose between conservationists, family farmers and ranchers.
Our tent is getting bigger. Together we prove people can work
hand in hand for the future of the land and all it’s
inhabitants.
While there are misguided forces
that seek to divide and conquer, time and time again we have
demonstrated the power in staying in alliance. Their deceptions
may anger us and their resources may humble us, nothing can
withstand the full intent of a group of dedicated people working
in common cause. We are only beginning to witness the force of
such a community.
Please let this greeting be a
message of appreciation for you. You are a part of an important
movement and it is your courage, tenacity and dedication that
will one day realize the vision of a rural America with abundant
family farms, healthy critters, clean water and a wild Earth.
From the bottom of our hearts
than you and we wish you the happiest of holiday peace and
blessings!
