WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) received the Friend of Farm Bureau Award from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) for having a voting record in the 117^th Congress that supports our nation’s farmers.

“90% of America’s food supply comes from 12% of the farms, and we’ve seen these past few years how critical farmers are to our supply chains,” Scott said. “Supporting our farmers is supporting our country’s wellbeing and I am proud to represent Georgia’s farmers in Congress.”

In awarding the Friend of Farm Bureau Award, AFBF considered the votes legislators cast on bills supporting agriculture and rural communities.

Rep. Scott is a Senior Member of the House Agriculture Committee and is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management.
