Smith Receives Awards from Nebraska Wheat Growers for Support of Agriculture

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) received the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association’s Person of the Year Award and the National Association of Wheat Growers’ Wheat Advocate Award today in recognition of his support of the wheat industry and U.S. agriculture.

“Nebraska producers deserve our gratitude for their tireless work, which has made the Third District the top-producing agriculture district in the country,” Congressman Smith said. “I thank the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association for these awards and look forward to many more opportunities to work together on issues vital to Nebraska agriculture. As chairman of the Modern Agriculture Caucus and a member of the Ways and Means Committee, I will continue to lead efforts to roll back onerous regulations, open more markets to producers, and promote innovation and science-based policies.”

“It is an honor to present Congressman Smith with our NWGA Person of the Year Award as well as the National Association of Wheat Growers’ Wheat Advocate Award,” said Nebraska Wheat Growers Association President Randon Peters. “We want to thank the Congressman for his continued efforts to support our state’s wheat farmers and agriculture. His advocacy on trade issues and regulatory challenges assures our farmers that he understands our industry and gives agriculture an ally in Washington, D.C.”
