The American Farm Bureau Federation's congressional award program is known as the "Friend of Farm Bureau." This award is given to an individual who has supported farm bureau policy, as shown by their voting records; is nominated by their respective state farm bureau, and approved by the AFBF's board of directors. Voting records are based on votes approved by the AFBF Board at its July 2022 meeting. "What I used to call rural America, I don't call it that anymore, I call it ‘essential America,'" Thompson said. "Because absolutely everything that the families in this great nation need – and quite frankly a lot of families around the world – those things that are essential to their lives come from where we live.'" "It's very important for Glenn Thompson to be a part of what we do," said Steve Blackburn, Vice President of the Clearfield County Farm Bureau. "He supports the farmers, and we need that, so it's great for that." Read the full article here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
