The American Farm Bureau presented Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE) with the AFBF’s Golden Plow Award. It’s the highest honor the organization presents to sitting members of Congress. “Senator Fischer understands first-hand what farm families across our nation are facing,” said Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall. “She’s lived life on the farm, running a cattle ranch while serving the people of Nebraska, first in the state legislature, and then in the U.S. Senate.” He also said Fischer’s unique perspective and real-world experience have guided her in championing issues that impact rural America, including regulatory reform, trade, taxes, and a modernized farm bill. “She embodies the spirit that the Golden Plow Award represents,” he added. The Nebraska Farm Bureau nominated her for the award in honor of her work on the Senate Agriculture Committee. “She’s never wavered in her support for farm and ranch families,” said Nebraska Farm Bureau President Mark McHargue.
