Every two years at the end of a Congressional session, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) presents American Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s (AFBF) \u201cFriend of Farm Bureau Award\u201d to members of Congress who have supported Farm Bureau policy as shown by their voting records. The voting records are based on AFBF priority issues, as determined by its Board of Directors. The Friend of Farm Bureau Award is not a political endorsement but rather a recognition of a lawmaker\u2019s support for agriculture as demonstrated over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PFB is proud to announce that seven members of Pennsylvania\u2019s congressional delegation have been recognized with the Friend of Farm Bureau Award for supporting agriculture-related policies in the 118th Congress. Recipients were nominated by PFB and approved by AFBF\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, the state\u2019s largest general farm organization, we would like to thank these members of Pennsylvania\u2019s congressional delegation for supporting legislation that benefits agriculture,\u201d said PFB President Chris Hoffman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe support from our Friend of Farm Bureau recipients helps preserve the future of family farms in Pennsylvania, maintain our ability to produce safe and affordable food for consumers, and provide resources to assist farmers in implementing conservation practices on the farm. With record-high input costs and an increase in red tape, farm families have been greatly challenged in recent years. Continued support by lawmakers to implement sound agricultural policy is vital to ensure food and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
