"From the unique challenges of rural health care to the devastating impact of the death tax on family farms, Montana’s farmers are faced with many challenges," said Rehberg, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and a rancher. "I’m proud to have earned the trust of the Montana Farmers Union and I’ll keep standing up for Montana farmers in Washington, D.C."

The Golden Triangle Awards have been presented annually since it was established in 1988. This year, recipients were chosen for their leadership on a variety of issues, not limited to but including; work to address the crisis in the dairy industry, efforts to increase transparency and oversight of commodity markets, support for increasing the use and production of renewable fuels, and increasing competition in the marketplace.

"Representative Rehberg has done a fabulous job in hearing our concerns and bringing those to Congress and working really hard to make sure that everybody is treated fairly and that the legislation that Montana's farmers and ranchers need is passed," said Kristie Rutledge, member of Montana Farmers Union and the Farmers Union Enterprises Leadership Group.

Rehberg was presented the award by representatives of the Montana Farmers Union during a meeting in his office.
