Rep. Arrington Honored with AFBF Golden Plow Award
USAgNet - 06/22/2021
The American Farm Bureau Federation and Texas Farm Bureau presented Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) with AFBF's Golden Plow award. The Golden Plow is the highest honor the organization gives to sitting members of Congress.
"In just a short time in Congress, Congressman Arrington has shown himself to be a strong advocate for farmers and ranchers," said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. "He knows there is no time to waste on the issues impacting our farmers and ranchers today."
Congressman Arrington has been a leader on a number of key issues facing agriculture, including trade, regulation and tax reform. "Thanks to Congressman Arrington's efforts, the estate tax exemption was doubled," Duvall said. "He continues to work toward
the goal of full repeal of the estate tax, which threatens the economic sustainability of our farm and ranch businesses."
The Texas Farm Bureau endorsed Arrington for the award in honor of his tenure serving rural America in Washington, D.C., since he was elected to the House of Representatives in 2016.
AFBF's Golden Plow award recognizes members of Congress who exemplify agricultural leadership and support of Farm Bureau policies. Recipients are chosen for having a philosophy or record that demonstrates a commitment to sound agricultural policies
supported by Farm Bureau, the private enterprise system, fiscal conservatism and reduced federal regulation of businesses and individuals.
