Once Every 5 Years

What could be more rare then seeing a North American Grey Wolf moving out of Yellowstone and reestablishing its numbers in this world..
How about a farm bill to be considered by the Senate.
Every five years the U.S. Senate mulls over the farm bill to reauthorize its conditions. Although it sounds like nothing we should really occupy ourselves with ..I mean I don't farm; I live in the Raritan Bay for starts.. but farm bill programs typically provide billions of dollars to farmers who take up the responsibility of practicing cleaner, environmentally safer farming methods. For instance, reducing pollution or providing wildlife habitat.
Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is asking you to write to your Senator to make sure that this new farm bill goes above and beyond the last one. They do provide a prewritten letter in their Action Center if you would just like to cross your t's. Take Action Heroes!
