Kristi Noem today accepted the \u201cFriend of Farm Bureau\u201d award from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) for her work to expand markets, curtail irresponsible government regulations, and support small business.\u00a0 \r\n\u201cIt is an honor to accept this award today,\" said Noem.\u00a0 \"The last two years have been an uphill battle.\u00a0 There were a lot of hours put into educating my colleagues in Congress about the importance of ag policy, but in the end, we passed one of the strongest and most reformed farm bills in history.\u00a0 We have a lot more to do.\u00a0 In the next few years, I\u2019ll be looking to expand the market for our commodities through new trade agreements and reform the tax code to make it easier for farmers and ranchers to do business.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge.\"\r\nThe award is given at the conclusion of each Congress to those members who were nominated by their respective state Farm Bureaus and approved by the AFBF Board of Directors.\r\n\u201cProducers across South Dakota understand that they have a friend and advocate in Rep. Noem,\u201d said South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott VanderWal.\u00a0 \u201cRep. Noem understands the challenges farmers and ranchers face every day because she\u2019s walked in our boots.\u00a0 She fought relentlessly to get a farm bill passed this last Congress, and as a result, we have a strong safety net for the always risky agriculture industry.\u00a0 I look forward to all she will accomplish in the coming years.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://noem.house.gov/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=78CFC6B5-D374-4746-864D-2E831B37D485"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3258839026093483, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
