Yesterday was a day of Capitol Hill visits for WAWG leaders to talk about wheat industry priorities, such as trade, farm bill and transportation. They also honored Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D. with the NAWG Outstanding Wheat Advocate Award.
Proud to receive the NAWG Wheat Advocate award. I'm looking forward to working with House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson and our colleagues to craft a Farm Bill that provides certainty to Oklahoma's- and America's- farmers, ranchers, and producers. news9.com/story/63dc1951…
