All five members of the Nebraska congressional delegation have received the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) “Friend of Farm Bureau” award for the 118th Congress.
AFBF said the awards are given at the end of each Congress to lawmakers based on individual voting records on Farm Bureau priority issues, which in 2024 included protecting animal agriculture from animal rights extremists, supporting a new Farm Bill and other federal risk management programs, pushing to expand agricultural markets, and many others.
Nebraska Farm Bureau nominated the members of the delegation for the awards.
Sens. Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts received the AFBF “Friend of Farm Bureau” award, as did Rep. Mike Flood (R-Dist.1), Rep. Don Bacon (R-Dist.2), and Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Dist.3).
