National Farmers Union recognizes Wisconsin Dems
The National Farmers Union has presented its annual Golden Triangle Awards for farmer and rancher advocacy to 63 Members of Congress, including four Democratic members of the Wisconsin delegation.
U.S. Sens. Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl, along with U.S. Reps. Dave Obey and Steve Kagen, are this year's Wisconsin recipients.
"As a senator from America's Dairyland, I often hear from farmers and rural Americans of the hardships they are facing during this economic downturn," Feingold said in a statement. "I will continue to work to support Wisconsin's farmers and rural communities, which are the foundation to our state."
