Via a press release from Rep. Pomeroy's office...
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Earl Pomeroy has been awarded the National Farmers Union’s highest honor for government service, The Golden Triangle Award, for his commitment to rural America. The award is given annually to members of Congress in recognition of outstanding leadership on issues affecting rural America.
“I am honored to receive this award from the National Farmers Union,” Congressman Pomeroy said. “Family farmers and ranchers deserve a strong voice in the U.S. Congress, and I am proud to fight for issues important to rural America. This year has produced big wins for family farmers and ranchers, as we have won long-overdue disaster assistance and a strong farm bill that will keep family farmers at the heart of our nation’s food production.”
Pomeroy is being recognized for his leadership in addressing many of the challenges facing the nation’s farmers and ranchers. The National Farmers Union is recognizing Congressman Pomeroy for his leadership on the House-passed farm bill, implementing mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL), the promotion and production of fuels from the farm, protecting the nation's food supply, and support for emergency weather-related disaster assistance.
The Golden Triangle Award, a triangle symbolizing “legislation” and “cooperation” based on “education,” was first awarded in 1988 and is the highest award bestowed by the National Farmers Union.
The National Farmers Union is a general farm organization representing nearly 300,000 family farmers and ranchers nationwide. National Farmers Union serves its members by providing education and support for farmer-owned cooperatives, and by presenting the organization's policies to lawmakers at the local, state and national level.
