Agriculture Recognition/Awards

It is an honor to represent the people of Idaho. It is my goal to do so in a manner that reflects the values and traditions of Idahoans. During the course of my public service, I have been fortunate to be recognized by many tremendous organizations. Many of these awards are based on my voting record, and my efforts to serve the people of Idaho.

Idaho has a diverse, abundant agriculture industry that contributes significantly to Idaho's economy.  Through my position as a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee and Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Rural Revitalization, Conservation, Forestry and Credit, I have the opportunity to advocate for Idaho's agriculture producers and businesses.  To learn more about my position on the issues facing agriculture, please visit the Agriculture section of this website.  Below you will find listed the awards I have received for my efforts in agriculture issues:
