Tenney receives Friend of Farm Bureau Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recognized as advocate for family farmers<\/em><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) received \u201cFriend of the Farm Bureau\u201d award for her work in the 115th\u00a0<\/sup>Congress.\u00a0<\/em>The American Farm Bureau Federation gives the Friend of Farm Bureau award to members of Congress who have supported Farm Bureau\u2019s position on policy issues, as demonstrated by their voting records, and who were nominated by their respective state Farm Bureaus and approved by the AFBF Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cFarms are the lifeblood of our local economy and a vital part of our upstate heritage,” Tenney said. “In New York, our dairy farmers have experienced severe hardships. Unfair trade deals and bad policies in Albany has pushed our farmers to the brink of bankruptcy. Since my first day as a member of Congress, it\u2019s been my top priority to fix this serious problem jeopardizing the survival of the great tradition of family farming.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve fought and helped enact real solutions to ensure our agricultural community can grow and prosper once again. I\u2019ve listened to the problems facing our farmers and been their voice in Washington, fighting for real change and delivering on our promises.<\/strong>\u00a0It is a distinct honor to be recognized by the Farm Bureau for our office\u2019s work and strong advocacy for upstate farmers in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tenney\u00a0has held roundtables with local farmers in five counties through the district and brought the United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to NY-22 to listen to the needs of local farmers.<\/p>\n
