National Farmers Union presents Congressman with Golden Triangle Award
Washington, D.C. - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today received the Golden Triangle Award from the National Farmers Union (NFU) for his consistent advocacy for Iowa's farmers and agricultural community. The Golden Triangle award is NFU's highest legislative honor given to sitting members of Congress.
"We've seen agricultural innovation power Iowa's economy for generations, and I know the future of Iowa agriculture is bright," Braley said. "I'm honored to receive this award and will continue to fight for Iowa's ag community."
Braley has been a consistent champion for Iowa's rural communities and agricultural industries, and is a strong leader in the fight to protect the Renewable Fuel Standard and the thousands of jobs and billions of dollars it contributes to Iowa's economy.
Last year, Braley cosponsored the beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act to provide incentives to ensure the effective startup and success of new farmers and encourage a new generation of Iowans to choose a career as a farmer.
In January, after Braley repeatedly urged House leadership to put the bipartisan Senate Farm Bill on the House floor, the U.S. House successfully passed a long-term, comprehensive Farm Bill.
