WASHINGTON, DC -  National Farmers Union (NFU) recognized Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) with the Golden Triangle Award, the family farm organization’s highest legislative honor, for his leadership and support at the federal policymaking level for family farmers, ranchers and their rural communities.

“I am honored to be recognized by the National Farmers Union but even more so to work with them on behalf of Minnesota's farmers and ranchers. I am especially appreciative for their support of the STRESS Act to end farmers' mental health crisis, ” said Congressman Emmer. 

“The Golden Triangle Award recognizes farm and food champions in Congress that display outstanding leadership on the issues that are important to both our industry and our organization. We’re appreciative of their insight and devotion to securing the nation’s food supply for the good of both American family farmers and consumers,” said NFU President Roger Johnson. 

The Golden Triangle, first presented in 1988, symbolizes the core principles of the Farmers Union organization: education, cooperation, and legislation. This year’s Golden Triangle honorees were selected for their leadership and dedication to improving the livelihoods of family farmers and ranchers.
