Montana Congressman* Denny Rehberg was presented with a “Friend of Farm Bureau” award Oct. 29 at the Montana Farm Bureau office in Bozeman. The “Friend of Farm Bureau” award is given at the end of each Congress to those members of Congress who were nominated by their respective state Farm Bureaus and approved by the American Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors.
This award is based upon voting records on AFBF’s priority issues established by the Board of Directors, number of bills that a member has sponsored and co-sponsored, specific leadership role for Farm Bureau on priority issues, and how accessible and responsive that member is to Farm Bureau members and leaders. In addition, the state Farm Bureau provides other specific reasons why that member should receive this award.
“While in the 112th Congress, Representative Rehberg voted with our Farm Bureau policy 95 percent of the time,” said MFBF President Bob Hanson. “We are fortunate to have a representative who is very supportive of Montana agriculture. This award is about agriculture, not politics.”
“It’s an honor to once again receive the ‘Friend of the Farm Bureau’ award,” noted Rehberg. “The Montana economy depends on agriculture and the country counts on Montana’s ag producers, so I’m proud to work with the farmers and ranchers who make up the Montana Farm Bureau to protect our agricultural interests and heritage. Our ag producers deserve certainty, whether it’s EPA regulations, the death tax, or a long-term farm bill. I will continue my work until they have it.”
