The Campaign for Family Farms and the Environment submitted a letter with more than 25,000 signatures to Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack Tuesday, asking the USDA to suspend loans and loan guarantees that are used to expand hog and poultry production.

The campaign and several affiliated groups are asking for a suspension of Farm Service Agency (FSA) loans similar to one made under President Bill Clinton in 1999, when hog prices were also depressed.
