The American Farm Bureau Federation has honored all seven members of Oklahoma’s congressional delegation with its “Friend of Farm Bureau” award for their sustained and exemplary support of farmers and ranchers.
Oklahoma Farm Bureau nominated the delegation for the award, which recognizes members of Congress, regardless of party affiliation, for outstanding agricultural leadership and support of Farm Bureau policies.
“We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with these outstanding legislative leaders,” said OFB President Mike Spradling. “They understand our needs and have a positive response to our issues.”
Receiving the “Friend of Farm Bureau” award are U.S. Sens. Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, and Reps. Frank Lucas, Mary Fallin, Dan Boren, Tom Cole and John Sullivan.
The Oklahoma farm organization will recognize the delegation at its state convention Nov. 19-21 in Oklahoma City.
